Driving pressure, PaCO2, chest wall compliance, and lung compliance. (A) Driving pressure, (B) PaCO2, (C) chest wall compliance, and (D) lung compliance have been reported as individual values. A combination of symbol and color was assigned to each patient and was kept constant in the four graphs to allow their identification. *P < 0.05 second step (0°) versus first step (40°); †P < 0.05 third step (40°) versus second step (0°). CCW = chest wall compliance; CLung = lung compliance.
