  • Data are presented as mean±sd, unless otherwise stated. mPAP: mean pulmonary artery pressure; mPAPend-exp: mPAP measured at the end of expiration; mPAPaveraged: mPAP averaged over the respiratory cycle; mPAPRAPnadir: mPAP corrected with the lowest point of right atrial pressure (RAP); mPAPRAPswing: mPAP corrected with the swing in RAP; PCWP: pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; PCWPend-exp: PCWP measured at end-expiration; PCWPaveraged: PCWP averaged over the respiratory cycle; PCWPRAPnadir: PCWP corrected for the lowest point of RAP; PCWPRAPswing: PCWP corrected for the swing in RAP.
