All pediatric ARDS PEEP-FIO2 combinations. Actual PEEP values as a function of actual FIO2 levels (median [bar] and interquartile range [box]) for all the subjects with pediatric ARDS for the first day of mechanical ventilation after a pediatric ARDS diagnosis. The superimposed line represents the ARDS Network protocol target combinations of PEEP-FIO2. In general, the clinicians used more PEEP than recommended when FIO2 was <0.4 and used less PEEP than recommended when FIO2 was >0.5. Median PEEP did not exceed 10 cm H2O, regardless of FIO2.

Comparison of increases in dynamic pulmonary compliance and oxygenation. Mean ± SD values are denoted by the circles and whiskers; δ (%) is the change in either oxygen saturation index (OSI) (OSI = FIO2 × P̄aw × 100/SpO2) or respiratory system compliance (CRS) relative to the maxima at each time point. A: Responders (those who had an increase in oxygenation after PEEP increase), OSI improved by 13% and CRS improved by 14% during the monitoring time frame in responders. B: Non-responders (no change in oxygenation or worsening after PEEP increase). From Reference 20, with permission.
