Statistical Analysis
Pre-extubation RSS, VI, ventilator set rate, mean airway pressure (MAP),
peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), FiO2 being provided
through the ventilator, blood gas Pco2, and
blood gas pH were compared with these parameters at 24 hours and 72
hours after reintubation. The comparisons were performed using the
Wilcoxon signed rank test. A P value of <.05 was
considered statistically significant. Statistical analysis was conducted
using Stata version 16.1 (College Station, TX).
