E drs Area-PEEP plot. Top Left Panel: Patient 2, Top Right Panel: Patient 6. Bottom Left Panel: Patient 8, Bottom Right Panel: Patient 10. Severe COPD or patients with similar clinical features (e.g. Patient 10) showed significantly higher E drs Area compared to other patients. PEEP selection is based on minimum E drs -Area and the inflection method with PEEP increase.
