Transitions in intensive care: Investigating critical slowing down post extubation. by Lucinda Khalil, Sandip V George, Katherine L Brown, Samiran Ray, Simon Arridge

“…We tested for significant increases (p <.05) between extubation and re-intubation, in the variance and autocorrelation, over the time series data of heart rate, respiratory rate and mean blood pressure. The autocorrelation of the heart rate showed a significantly higher proportion of increases in the group that failed extubation, compared who those who did not. …”
