VR and MP decreased across both groups during weaning. COVID-19 patients demonstrated higher values for both indexes throughout weaning: median VR 1.54 versus 1.27 ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and MP 26.0 versus 21.3\u2009Joule\/min ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) at the start of weaning, and median VR 1.38 versus 1.24 ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and MP 24.2 versus 20.1\u2009Joule\/min ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) at weaning completion. According to the multivariable analysis, VR was not independently associated with weaning outcomes, and the ability of MP to predict weaning failure or success varied with lung-thorax compliance, with COVID-19 patients demonstrating consistently higher dynamic compliance along with significantly fewer weaning failures (9% versus 30%, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.01).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>COVID-19 patients differed considerably in ventilation efficiency and respiratory mechanics among prolonged ventilated individuals, demonstrating significantly higher VRs and MP.
