Figure 3

Regression analysis for TwPdi and total duration of mechanical ventilation; cumulative duration of BIPAP/ASB, PSV, and IPPV at the time of measurement; and cumulative dose of piritramide and propofol. All data concern values up to the time of measurement of TwPdi. TwPdi, twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure; BIPAP/ASB, bilevel positive airway pressure with assisted spontaneous breathing; PSV, pressure-support ventilation; IPPV, intermittent positive-pressure ventilation.
