Resistance–elastance tidal volume contour plots for patient weighing 80 kg. The placement of the adjustable resistor in the parallel Co-MV circuit (Patient C) is shown in the upper right corner. As Patient C’s condition improves with lowering of respiratory elastance (E), the tidal volume delivered increases and moved out of the safe green zone. With the increase of resistance (R) in Patient C’s Co-MV circuit, the tidal volume range can be shifted back to the green zone
