Distribution of values of ventilatory settings (A Peak inspiratory pressure; B Plateau pressure; C Driving pressure; D Positive end-expiratory pressure [PEEP]; E Tidal volume) according to the hemodynamic item of the SOFA score (0: mean arterial pressure ≥ 70 mmHg; 1: mean arterial pressure < 70 mmHg, 2: dopamine ≤ 5 μg/kg/min or dobutamine; 3: dopamine 5–15 μg/kg/min or norepinephrine ≤ 0.1 μg/kg/min or epinephrin ≤ 0.1 μg/kg/min; 4: dopamine > 15 μg/kg/min or norepinephrine > 0.1 μg/kg/min or epinephrin > 0.1 μg/kg/min). Spearman’s coefficients (ρ) were calculated to assess the correlation between these parameters and the score
