Figure 3

Gender and obesity characteristics of patients that needed postoperative mechanical ventilation (POMV) and ICU admission in tidal volume (V T ) subgroups. The incidence of POMV was significantly different in the VT subgroup (VT > 10 mL/kg PBW n = 18, 24.0%) compared to the other subgroups (n = 17, 11.0%, in VT < 8 mL/kg PBW and n = 29, 13.5%, in the VT 8-10 mL/kg PBW) (p = 0.028). The distribution of gender and obesity of these patients was also significantly different between VT subgroups (p = 0.022).
