aThe only exception was the contractile assays with excised tracheas, where only half of the mice that underwent measurements with the flexiVent were tested. This reduced the sample size to 6 per group for the mice that underwent measurements with the flexiVent and to 12 per group when the mice tested or not with the flexiVent were combined.
