Baseline Characteristics

The 12 patients, who could not be included due to only having one day of FT zone data, were reviewed for reasons of withdrawal. Five (42%) of these patients had unexpected withdrawal of care due to family decisions or hospice admission. Four patients had their FTs removed during ETT extubation. Two patients improved significantly and were able to start an oral diet. One patient was removed due to a missing feeding tube stylet.
