In total, we identified 192 different neurons, with 159 833%) showing visual responses to at least one of the stimuli in the set (93 in N97 and 66 in E98) with 69 of these seemingly stably isolated over at least two consecutive recordings sessions.
Interviewing continued until two consecutive recordings revealed no new themes, when we determined that data saturation had occurred.
Measurements were then made once daily until either six consecutive recordings or the patient had been weaned from the ventilator or had died, whichever was the shorter period.
Recordings were reviewed following each interview to assess whether new idea elements continued to emerge; where two consecutive recordings revealed no new themes, we determined that data saturation had occurred.
The best of three consecutive spirometry recordings was used, according to the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) [ 14].
In each patient, three consecutive waveform recordings were averaged to obtain the mean AIx@75, which was used for statistical analysis.
The best of three consecutive spirometry recordings was used in accordance with the guidelines of the European Respiratory Society [ 18].
We assessed HRV using three consecutive 10-sec recordings.
