Individual intervention pattern lengths do not follow the pattern predicted by intermittent silence or random text analyses. Panel A: Appearance frequency of intervention pattern length versus rank for volume controlled and pressure controlled modes during simulated practice of mechanical ventilation and patterns predicted by intermittent silence and random text models. Panel B: natural logarithm (frequency) versus natural logarithm (rank) for observed data and those for the intermittent silence and random text models.
