To produce the "error" signal that drives breathing, they must change in the appropriate direction PaO2 falling and PaCO2 rising, they should change in proportion to exercise intensity, and they must remain changed as long as metabolic rate is increased in order to sustain breathing at this new metabolic rate.
And to some extent some of these disciples who underwent these mystical experiences with the help of all sorts of meditation practices, including sustained rapid breathing, which brings about deoxygenation and lends one really vulnerable to high states and mystical experiences, they became very attached to the guru and to this kind of religious practice.

The ability to sustain unassisted breathing was also assessed every morning by performing a spontaneous breathing trial in patients with low levels of pressure support (≤ 10 cmH2O), and with other clinical and objective signs of stability.
Nonetheless, as all the patients who failed the disconnection off the ventilator had passed a protocolized SBT or were judged ready to sustain spontaneous breathing by the ICU physician, we cannot exclude different results for earlier disconnections owing to the easiness to reconnect the patient.
The FA and VA values at which the patients were able to sustain spontaneous breathing and extubation were registered.
Long-term weaning success was defined as the patient's ability to sustain spontaneous breathing until ICU discharge.
The weaning trial was defined as successful when the patient was able to sustain spontaneous breathing without distress.
