Mean (SD) Median (25%, 75%) Mean (SD) Median (25%, 75%)
Pre-NMB Standard 1.38 (0.60) 1 (1, 2) 1.70 (1.66) 1 (1, 3)

Post-NMB Standard 1.23 (0.51) 1 (1, 1) 1.14 (1.22) 1 (0, 2)
Tao 1.20 (0.49) 1 (1, 1) 0.86 (1.16) 1 (0, 1)
Difference 0.03 (0.24) 0 (0, 0) 0.28 (0.58)a 0 (0, 1)a

Differences are calculated by taking the ventilation score using the standard mask and subtracting the score using the Tao mask. Data are presented as mean (SD) and as median (25th, 75th percentile).

Abbreviations: NMB, neuromuscular blockade; SD, standard deviation.
