Fig. 3

Bland-Altman plot of differences in PEEP based upon the best balance between alveolar overdistension and collapse (ODCL) and best dynamic respiratory system compliance (Cdyn) in patients with ARDS (a) and control patients (b). The dot size is an indicator for the incidence of the value. The black full line indicates no difference in PEEP level between ODCL and best Cdyn; the red full line indicates the mean value of the two measurements, and the red dashed line indicates the mean of the two measurements against their difference and 95% limits of agreement (= mean difference ± 1.96 x SD of the difference)
