Mean values of partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) to fraction of inspired oxygen in air (FiO2) ratio, prevalence of pneumonia, and mortality at the last follow-up in the trial in the control groups of recent randomized control trials in acute respiratory distress patients. The studies are shown in alphabetic order in each plot and the references are (5-7,9,11,15-18).

Figure 2
Mean values of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in the lower panels and Plateau pressure (Pplat) in the upper panels for control (right panels) and intervention groups (left panels) recent randomized control trials in acute respiratory distress patients. The studies are shown in alphabetic order in each plot and the references are (5-7,9,11,15-18).
