Patient ventilator Asynchrony: Double Triggering

double triggering is a type of ventilator-patient dyssynchrony that occurs when two ventilator breaths are delivered within one patient inspiratory effort. It can be caused by a shorter inspiratory time of the mechanical breath than the patient’s neural inspiratory time. Double triggering can lead to higher tidal volumes and breath stacking, which may increase the risk of lung injury.

Can you explain reverse triggering and contrast with Double triggering

[@janakamunasingha1529]

How can we overcome this? Is it by increasing the inspiration time?

[@ICUREACH]

Yes, increase inspiratory time in case of double triggering

@ICUREACH Thank you very much

[@shevonforbes9826]

I don’t like that you didn’t give ways to fix the issue

[@ICUREACH]

You are right, I think I did in other videos but I should have included them here
