Hypothesis 2: We hypothesize that inspiratory effort will be sufficient in some subjects to distort the flow versus time waveform from that which would be seen if the patient were passive, leading to erroneous values for resistance and elastance. We will estimate the respiratory drive using a standard measure, the fall in Pao during a brief inspiratory occlusion 100ms following the onset of inspiration (P0.1). Further, we will measure each subject's alertness on the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS). We expect our estimations of resistance and elastance to less accurate (during pressure-preset ventilation compared with assist-control) in subjects with greater respiratory drive and higher levels of alertness.
