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.
