  1. Definition of abbreviations: BMI = body mass index; PaO2/FIO2 Ratio = ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2 in mmHg) to fractional inspired oxygen (FIO2 expressed as a fraction, not a percentage); DP = driving pressure; N/A = not available
  2. *At the end of the lung recruitment maneuver in supine position
  3. At the end of the lung recruitment maneuver in lateral position
  4. At PEEP of 12 cm H2O
  5. §At PEEP of 12 cm H2O
