Data expressed as the mean ± standard deviation or as the median (interquartile range) if the data were not normally distributed. SBT, spontaneous breathing trial; APACHE II, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation; MBP, mean blood pressure; HR, heart rate; P0.1, airway occlusion pressure; P0.1 × RSBI, product of airway occlusion pressure and RSBI; RSBIn, rapid shallow breathing index at n min;∆RSBI30, change in RSBI at 30 min of SBT, expressed as a percentage of RSBI30 to RSBI1.
