The ELV-method showed low bias but high PE in anaesthetized patients. Agreement was good in awake subjects. In porcines, agreement was good at lower PEEP levels. Concordance related to PEEP changes reached 100% in all settings. This method may become a useful trending tool for monitoring lung function during mechanical ventilation, if findings are confirmed in other clinical contexts.
