Fig. 1.
Noise produced with the ambulance A: still and motor off (A) or B: still and motor on. Single measurements are shown as colored dots. Black asterisks and T-bars represent medians and interquartile range, respectively. In A, all within-condition post hoc comparison were significant with P < .05. In B, all within-condition post hoc comparison were significant with P < .05 with the exception of CMV vs HFOV. Control = ventilator off; CMV = continuous mandatory ventilation; HFOV = high-frequency oscillatory ventilation; CF-CPAP = continuous-flow CPAP; VF-CPAP = variable-flow CPAP; BIPAP = biphasic intermittent positive airway pressure.

Fig. 2.
Noise produced with the ambulance moving with A: horns or B: sirens. Single measurements are shown as colored dots. Black asterisks and T-bars represent medians and interquartile range, respectively. In A, all within-condition post hoc comparison were significant with P < .05 with the exception of HFOV vs CF-CPAP and VF-CPAP vs BIPAP. In B, the following within-condition post hoc comparisons were significant with P < .05: control vs VF-CPAP, control vs BIPAP, CMV vs VF-CPAP, CMV vs BIPAP, HFOV vs CF-CPAP, HFOV vs VF-CPAP, and HFOV vs BIPAP. Control = ventilator off; CMV = continuous mandatory ventilation; HFOV = high-frequency oscillatory ventilation; CF-CPAP = continuous-flow CPAP; VF-CPAP = variable-flow CPAP; BIPAP = biphasic intermittent positive airway pressure.
