Fig 2.

Operating total and compartmental chest wall volumes at rest, during pulmonary reexpansion interventions and recovery in quiet breathing.

Data presented as mean ± standard deviation. IS-v: Incentive spirometer volume-oriented; PEP: Positive expiratory pressure; IS-vp: Incentive spirometer volume and pressure oriented. QB: quiet breathing; VT,CW: Chest wall tidal volume; VT,RCp: Pulmonary ribcage tidal volume; VT,RCa: Abdominal ribcage tidal volume; VT,AB: Abdominal tidal volume. White dot: End-inspiratory volume (EIV); Black dot: End-expiratory volume (EEV). two-way ANOVA (parametric data distribution); * <0.05 EIV versus EEV; # <0.05 device versus QB; Φ: recovery versus intervention; λ: recovery versus QB.
