Figure 1. Representative Images of Each Type of Dyssynchrony.

Figure 1

Double-triggered breaths are characterized incomplete exhalation between breaths. Flow-limited breaths are characterized by the scooping of the pressure-time curve (arrow). Premature-ventilator-terminated breaths are characterized by the ventilator terminating the breath and then the patient making an immediate effort to take another breath (arrow). Finally, ineffective-triggered breaths are characterized as the patient making efforts to initiate a breath during the expiratory phase of the breath (arrows).
