Results of the analysis of the need for mechanical ventilation and its settings

Ambroxol				Control			Chi 2 test	p value
Need for M.V	No	%		No	%
Yes	4	6.67		20	33.33		11.72	0.0006*
No	56	93.33		40	66.66
		Mean	±SD		Mean	±SD	T-Test	P-value
OI during M.V		10	0.1		12.42	1.85	8.593	0.0001*
MAP during M.V		9	0.1		10.24	0.97	9.850	0.0001*
Duration of M.V(hrs)		84	12.70		169.60	32.0	2.923	0.004*

^*Statistically Significant difference at p<0.05.

For Duration of M.V, two-sample Wilcoxon Rank-Sum for equality of medians was used.

M.V: Mechanical Ventilation.

OI: Oxygenation Index.

MAP: Mean Airway Pressure.
