About the Case Presentation
Ventilator patient asynchrony occurs when there is a mismatch between the patient’s respiratory efforts and the ventilator’s delivered breaths. Common types include trigger asynchrony, flow asynchrony, and cycle asynchrony. Causes may include improper ventilator settings, altered respiratory mechanics, or patient conditions like agitation or airway obstruction.Diagnosis involves clinical observation and ventilator waveform analysis. Management focuses on optimizing ventilator settings, such as adjusting trigger sensitivity, inspiratory flow rates, or cycling thresholds. Sedation or neuromuscular blockade may be considered in severe cases. Regular monitoring and multidisciplinary collaboration are essential to ensure effective ventilation and improve patient outcomes.
