patient ventilator asynchrony

Asynchronony

occurs when the patient's inspiratory requirements for flow and volumes are not met by the ventilator rseulting in an increased work of breathing

what is the end result when patient ventilator asynchrony occurs

missed triggers auto peep

Asynchrony can be detected

through airway graphics

3 causes of trigger asynchrony

leaks
inappropiate trigger setting
condensation

how to correct auto trigger

recognize and adjust trigger sensitivity

3 ways to correct flow asynchrony

increase flow
decreasing inspiratory time
increasing expiratory time
