Intratidal compliance profile analysis during a single breathing cycle according to the gliding-SLICE method [20]. The tidal pressure-volume curve is divided into 21 equidistant slices. For each slice, the compliance profile is determined based on multiple linear regression analysis and matched to the respective tidal volume. The resulting intratidal compliance curves were classified into six different compliance profiles (H = horizontal compliance profile, I/IH = increasing compliance profile, D/HD = decreasing compliance profile, IHD = mixed compliance profiles)
