Electrical impedance tomography measurement of a COVID-19 patient during PEEP increases from 8 to 16 cmH2O, and the chest X-ray on the same day. a, b Tidal variations show ventilation distribution during tidal breathing. Highly ventilated regions are marked in light blue. c The differences in ventilation distribution between PEEP of 16 and PEEP of 8 cmH2O. Ventilation loss is marked in orange whereas ventilation gain is marked in blue. d Chest X-ray shows increased infiltration to the left lower lung field and to the right lower lobe
