The original article can be found online at https ://doi.org/10.1186/s1305 4-020-03311 -9. The sentence currently reads: PEEP decremental was not associated with significant changes in gasses exchanges but was associated with a significant decrease in plateau pressure and driving pressure and with a significant decrease in end-inspiratory and in end-expiratory transpulmonary pressures. The sentence should read: PEEP decremental was not associated with significant changes in gas exchange but was associated with a significant decrease in plateau pressure and driving pressure and with a significant decrease in end-inspiratory and in end-expiratory transpulmonary pressures. The sentence currently reads: These findings suggest that mechanically ventilated SARS-Cov-2 patients have a relatively preserved lung compliance and that the use of high PEEP was associated with a decrease in lung compliance while providing no beneficial effect on gasses exchanges. The sentence should read: These findings suggest that mechanically ventilated SARS-Cov-2 patients have a relatively preserved lung compliance and that the use of high PEEP was associated with a decrease in lung compliance while providing no beneficial effect on gas exchange. Table 1 Changes in hemodynamics, gasses exchanges, respiratory mechanics, and pulmonary regional ventilation between high and low PEEP in supine (n = 10) Table 1 caption should read: Table 1 Changes in hemodynamics, gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, and pulmonary regional ventilation between high and low PEEP in supine (n = 10) The sentence currently reads: In conclusion, this series of SARS-Cov-2-related ARDS describe an individualized multimodal approach of lung mechanics, gasses exchanges, pulmonary regional ventilation, and hemodynamics at the early phase of the disease and suggest that low PEEP should be used as part of the ventilation strategy, rather than high PEEP.

All the changes requested are implemented in this correction, and the original article [1] has been corrected. Data are presented as median [interquartile range] or number (percentage). Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test was used to evaluate differences between the median values of paired data.
