Respiratory mechanics. Individual values, medians, and interquartile range showing the distribution of respiratory variables in the matched cohorts. For each variable, COVID-19 patients’ values are compared to those for matched non-COVID-19 ARDS patients, as detailed in text. PaO2/FiO2 ratio, PaCO2, respiratory system compliance, driving pressure, ventilatory ratio, and standardized minute ventilation were measured at low PEEP. Ventilatory ratio, compliance, and its predicted body weight-indexed value were slightly higher in COVID-19 patients than in ARDS of other etiologies. PBW, predicted body weight
