Plot of ventilation at the three intervention time points PCV, PSV and SB. ROIs 1 and 2 were combined into ROI ventrally, ROIs 3 and 4 into ROI dorsally. In the dorsal regions, there is an increase in ventilation by recruitment of dorsal atelectasis by a mean of 5.5 percentage points with increasing spontaneous breathing. In turn, the ventilation fraction of the ventral lung regions decreases
