- Fig. 2.
Radiographs of a newborn piglet before (left) and after (right) injection of artificial mucus, which produced atelectasis in 10 of 13 piglets.

PaO2 before, immediately after, and 30 min after injection of artificial mucus in newborn piglets. Responders P = .01, non-responders P = .29, via Wilcoxon signed-rank test. In each data bar the horizontal line represents the median, the top and bottom of the bar represent the IQR, the whisker bars represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, and the dots represent outliers.
