Table 5 Association of time to surgery with ventilation time
From: Management of patients with flail chest by surgical fixation using claw-type titanium plate
| Time to surgery | Ventilation time (day) |
|---|---|
| ≤4 days (n = 12) | 1.8 ± 3.5 |
| >4 days (n = 11) | 6.6 ± 7.0 |
| T or x2 value | 2.1 |
| p-value | P < 0.05 |
