Table 3 Oxygenation trends and duration of ventilation by compliance group

From: Trajectories of hypoxemia and pulmonary mechanics of COVID-19 ARDS in the NorthCARDS dataset

 

All patients with reliable compliance (n = 1536)

Patients with very low compliance (< 20 ml/cm H2O) (n = 531; 34.6%)

Patients with low–normal compliance (20–50 ml/cm H2O) (n = 970; 63.2%)

Patients with high compliance (> 50 ml/cm H2O) (n = 35; 2.2%)
