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