Table 5A.
Tally of aspiration arrests (all consistencies) over number of trials in individual (#s 1–5) patients. Top: SLP I, middle: SLP II, bottom: ORIG SLP (4). While most patients experienced aspiration rate decreases under stimulation, #s 1 and 3 had small increases according to SLP II only. Statistical significance (bold) was verified between ON and OFF except in patient # 2 and for SLP II and # 3, or when the sample was too small as in # 5, SLP I).
