Endotracheal tube percent cross-sectional area reduction of each 1-mm section as function of the distance from the tube tip in patients receiving on-demand nebulizations (black) and patients receiving routine nebulizations (red). Values are plotted as median; error bands represent interquartile ranges. This plot represents the average mucus distribution in the two randomization arms, which is lower compared to the maximum cross-sectional area reduction of each patient. P-values are calculated with a two-way ANOVA using the distance from the tube tip and the randomization arm as factors. mm, millimeter
