Fig. 2From: Physiological effects of high-intensity versus low-intensity noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a randomised controlled triala IPAP, b VT, and c VT/PBW from baseline through 72 h after randomisation. Values are individuals, medians, and interquartile ranges with whiskers indicating minimum and maximum for IPAP and means and standard errors for VT and VT/PBW. *p < 0.05 between the two groups at the same time.
