| Experimental Group | Control Group | P Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ti, s | 0.228 ± 0.014 | 0.228 ± 0.014 | 0.997 |
| Te, s | 0.488 ± 0.104 | 0.411 ± 0.073 | 0.277 |
| Ttot, s | 0.715 ± 0.115 | 0.639 ± 0.073 | 0.306 |
| Pes, V | −0.038 ± 0.013 | −0.038 ± 0.011 | 0.967 |

Control breath comparisons of breath phase timing, esophageal pressure (Pes), and diaphragm electromyographic amplitude (ΔEMGdia) between experimental and control animals. Control breaths were defined as the last complete breath immediately before an occlusion for experimental animals and at matched time points for controls animals. Ti, inspiratory time; Te, expiratory time; Ttot, total time. Values are means ± SD. P values are from one-way ANOVA.
