  1. IL-8 levels are shown as picogram per milliliter. Day 0 is the day of intubation. The n is the number of plasma samples analyzed. Plasma IL-8 levels were log transformed for analysis due to skewness. Medians are significantly different across days, p < 0.001 using generalizing estimating equations to account for correlations within individuals
