Individual triggering values among all respiratory mechanics combinations. Values are provided as mean ± STD; DT, triggering delay between onset of the airway pressure decay and flow delivery; DP, pressurization delay, which is the time at which the airway pressure signal rose; overall inspiratory delay (DI) is composed of these two components (DT + DP), and a shorter DI value indicates better trigger performance. Significant differences could be exhibited in terms of triggering performances while comparing one ETV category to the other.
