That esophageal pressure is related with gastric and bladder pressure does not mean that its absolute value equals the pleural pressure.

Impressive survival benefits were found. Due to the difficulties of performing a normal randomized trial in this population, we absolutely believe it to be reasonable to accept the conclusions of this study and to translate them into clinical practice
