Inspiratory load compensation responses before and after inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) in the unweaned versus weaned subjects, with a 10 cm H2O load. In the weaned subjects peak inspiratory flow was significantly greater (P = .02) and inspired tidal volume was significantly larger (P = .03), both before and after IMST. The duty cycle (ratio of inspiratory time to total respiratory cycle time), inspiratory time, and expiratory time (not shown) were similar between the groups. * Main effect for weaning outcome P < .05. In each data bar the horizontal line represents the median, the top and bottom of the bar represent the IQR, and the whisker bars represent the 95th percentiles.
