PEF (mL g−1 s−1) 1.04 ± 0.18 1.08 ± 0.29 0.7207
ETCO2 (mmHg) 53.2 ± 3.7 50.5 ± 6.1 0.2735
SpO2 (%) 94.8 ± 2.5 94.1 ± 3.1 0.5821
Body mass (g) 24.8 ± 1.5 26.1 ± 0.8 0.0382

f R, respiratory frequency; V T, tidal volume; V˙E, minute ventilation; PIF, peak inspiratory flow; PEF, peak expiratory flow; ETCO2, end‐tidal carbon dioxide; SpO2, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation. Data are shown as the mean ± SD and were statistically compared using two‐tailed unpaired Student's t tests.
