UE incidence was calculated per 100 days of MV related to time spent in conventional care (CC) and SSC, using automated chart review of electronic medical records. Pre-defined short-term respiratory outcomes were mode of respiratory support, ventilator settings and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), at 30\u2013120\u2005min post-UE.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The UE incidence was 3.9 per 100 days of MV (3.0 in CC vs. 10.4 in SSC; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). The UE incidence during SSC decreased from 14.5 in 2021, to 7.7 in 2023 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.07), whereas it remained the same during CC.
