  1. Values are mean ± standard deviation (SD). PSV, pressure support ventilation; BE, base excess; VT/kg IBW, tidal volume per kg of ideal body weight; RR, respiratory rate, TI/Ttot, ratio of inspiratory time to total breath duration. Statistical significance according to Wilcoxon paired, two-sided signed rank test between PSV and noisy PSV at P <0.05. *, P <0.05; **, P <0.01.
