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
