Figure 4 Lung ultrasound score of each lung area in the control (C) group and lung recruitment maneuver (RM) group. T2 – at the end of the surgical procedure; T3 – 30 min after extubation. (A) Scores in the 2 groups at T2. (B) Scores in the 2 groups at T3. The data are presented as the median (the thick line across the box), interquartile range (box), and range (whiskers). *** P<0.001 (independent-samples Mann-Whitney U test); ns – not significant.
