2 Fig 1 Monitoring oxygenation. Based on arterial values which correlate poorly with adequacy of tissue oxygenation. British Journal of Anaesthesia  , DOI: ( /bja/aen240) Copyright © 2008 British Journal of Anaesthesia Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 Alveolar inflation. (a) Represents the beginning of inspiration. Pressure P acts on a consolidated alveolus, a normal alveolus and a distended alveolus. (b) End inspiration. Pressure P produces a broad spectrum of effects. British Journal of Anaesthesia  , DOI: ( /bja/aen240) Copyright © 2008 British Journal of Anaesthesia Terms and Conditions

5 Fig 4 Airway pressure and the lymphatics. Peak flow at a pressure of 4 mm Hg. Airway pressure of 15 mm Hg or higher compresses thin-walled collapsible lymphatics. The lymphatics drain into the central veins characterized by the superior vena cava (SVC). If the SVC pressure is high, 12 mm Hg in this example, drainage will be impeded. Hence both airway pressures and venous pressures will potentially impede drainage.
