Reverse triggering in patients with acute brain injury undergoing controlled ventilation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reverse triggering (RT) is a ventilatory asynchrony characterized by the activation of respiratory muscles in response to passive mechanical insufflation. Although RT can potentially exacerbate lung injury, its characteristics in patients with acute brain injury remain under-explored. This study aims to elucidate the incidence and factors associated with RT in this patient population.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted using a clinical database dedicated to investigating patient-ventilator asynchrony among individuals with acute brain injury. Only patients under controlled mechanical ventilation were included. RT was identified through an analysis of airway pressure, flow, and esophageal pressure waveforms collected at 15-minute intervals. The incidenc
