Table 3 Results of the cross-over design analysis for the breathing power (the primary end-point of the study) in the automatic tube compensation and the low-pressure support periods during spontaneous breathing trial in 20 patients
From: Low-pressure support vs automatic tube compensation during spontaneous breathing trial for weaning
| ATC | Low PS | Treatment effect | Period effect | Treatment × period interaction (carry over effect) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total breathing power (J/min) | 9.7 (5.7–21.9) | 7.2 (4.4–9.6) | 0.011 | 0.060 | 0.175 |
| Resistive breathing power (J/min) | 4.8 (1.6–9.9) | 3.1 (1.9–4.6) | 0.035 | 0.086 | 0.116 |
| Elastic breathing power (J/min) | 5.0 (3.6–7.7) | 3.5 (2.4–5.2) | 0.0096 | 0.081 | 0.238 |
