a Boxplots of respiratory system plateau pressures (Pplat) according to set PEEP and group. Black dots represent individual values. Red dashed line denotes 28 cm H2O. *p < 0.05 between obese and non-obese group for a given PEEP by Mann–Whitney U test. Boxplots of respiratory system driving pressures (∆PRS) according to set PEEP and group. Black dots represent individual values. Red dashed line denotes 14 cm H2O. *p < 0.05 between obese and non-obese group for a given PEEP by Mann–Whitney U test. b Boxplots of end-inspiratory elastance-ratio derived (PL, ER), end-inspiratory absolute method (PL, insp) and end-expiratory (PL, exp) transpulmonary pressures according to set PEEP and group. Black dots represent individual values. Red dashed lines denote 20 cm H2O for PL, ERand PL, insp plots, and 0 cm H2O for PL, exp plot. *p < 0.05 between obese and non-obese group for a given PEEP by Mann–Whitney U test
