Table 4. Comparison of respiratory motor output and visual analog scale between before and after breathing assist.

Parameter Before After p value (ES)
P0.1 (cmH2O) 2.70 ± 1.0 2.69 ± 1.1 0.963
P0.1/PImax (%) 5.61 ± 3.1 5.84 ± 4.3 0.519
Visual analog scale (cm) 1.22 ± 1.3 0.82 ± 1.3 0.001* (0.72)

Data presented as mean ± SD. P0.1: airway-occlusion pressure 0.1 s after the start of inspiratory flow; P0.1/PImax: airway-occlusion pressure 0.1 s after the start of inspiratory flow/maximal inspiratory pressure; PImax: maximal inspiratory pressure; ES: Effect size. *Statistically significant.
