Response – What form of asynchrony do you see?

June 9, 2022 tpiraino Leave a comment

With the help of advanced monitoring, these findings are referred to as respiratory entrainment, or reverse triggering. A machine delivered breath (not triggered by the patient) elicits a response (effort) by the patient, and this occurs during, or very shortly after, insufflation by the ventilator.

Short Cycling

October 9, 2018 CoEMV 1 Comment

Short cycling is a common form of patient-ventilator dyssynchrony. It occurs when a patient-triggered breath cycles off prior to the patient effort being completed.
