EIT parameters trends during the SBT extracted from stable tidal breathing periods before the SBT at 1/5th, 2/5th, 3/5th, 4/5th, 5/5th and after the SBT. The group is divided between patients with a successful SBT (green) and a failed SBT (orange). A Percentual change in the EELI during the SBT. B Percentual change of delta tidal impedance (ΔZ) during the SBT. C The Global Inhomogeneity (GI) during the SBT. D RREIT during the SBT. E Rapid shallow breathing Index (RSBIEIT) during the SBT. – Significant differences (p < 0.05) between the two groups are indicated with a horizontal bar (—), significant differences from the baseline measurement (p < 0.05) successful SBT is indicated with a green star. Significant differences from the baseline measurement (p < 0.05) for the failed SBT is indicated with an orange star
