Paired analysis of positive inflating pressure (PIP) and tidal volume in subjects at low and normal compliance during the first and second 60 s of combined chest compressions and FMV, and during FMV only

CPR/FMVPositive inflating pressure (cm H2O)Tidal volume(mL/cm H2O)
Low vs normal compliance (first 60 s)1.7±2.2*−10.8±6.5**
Low vs normal compliance (second 60 s)0 (IQ 3)−9±4.8**
FMV only
