Ineffectivetriggering patient factors ventilator factors • low respiratory drive • weak inspiratory muscles • partially blocked ETT or tracheostomy • alkaline pHandincreasedbicarbonatelevels • dynamic hyperinflation resulting in intrinsic PEEP • high level of pressure support or high tidal volume causing gas trapping and intrinsic PEEP • expiratory asynchrony with delayed opening of exhalation valve • Theuse of in-linenebulizers • Hightriggersensitivity

Doubletriggering Doubletriggering is thedelivery of 2 consecutiveventilatorcyclesseparatedby a veryshortexpiratory time, withthefirstcyclebeingpatienttriggered.
Doubletriggering • Patient’sventilatorydemand is highandtheinspiratory time set on theventilator is tooshort. • That is, doubletriggeringoccurswhentheventilatorinspiratory time is shorterthanthepatient’sinspiratory time. Thepatient’seffort is not completed at theend of thefirstventilatorcycleandtriggers a secondventilatorcycleandthusoccursmorecommonly in modeswithfixedinspiratoryflowtimes, suchassist-controlventilation.
Doubletriggering • PaO2/FiO2ratio is lowerandpeakinspiratorypressure is higherthan in patientswithoutthisasynchrony. • Thissituation is commonlyseen in patientswithacutelunginjuryoracuterespiratorydistresssyndrome. • Thus, as patientswithacutelunginjuryoracuterespiratorydistresssyndromeareoptimallyventilated, doubletriggering can deliver volumesmuchhigherthantheintendedvolumeprescriptionandthus can potentiallyresult in worseoutcomes.
Doubletriggering • Increasingtheinspiratory time orincreasingthetidalvolumesmayhelpwithdoubletriggering. • Ifthepatient has a variablerespiratorydrivesuchthatsetting a flow on a fixedmode of flowdelivery is not adequate, changingto a variableflow (eg, pressure-controlventilation) or a dual-controlmodemay be helpful. • Sedationadjustmentsmayneedto be madeifallthesemeasures fail. • Ifthepatient’sventilatoryneed is highor has suddenlychanged, it is importanttodeterminethecause of thischange (eg, stroke, pulmonaryembolus) whenmakingtheseadjustments.
Autotriggering • Autotriggeringmay be causedby • fluid in thecircuit, • circuitleaks, • chesttubeleaks, • vibration of theventilatortubing (as mightoccurduringinsufflationsandexsufflations of thelungswithpoorcompliance). • Autotriggering can alsooccur in thefollowingclinicalsettings: • Lowrespiratory rate, lowrespiratorydrive, andapneatesting - Allowforlowflow in thecircuitsuchthatanynoise in thesystem (eg, cardiacoscillations) maytrigger a breath • Highcardiac-outputstates, valvularheartdisease,andcardiomegaly

Excessiveflow Excessiveflow can be identified on thepressurewaveformbythe presence of acute "takeoff" of theascendinglimp of thepressurecurvealongwith a pressurespike at thebeginning of thecurve. • Certainpatterns of flowareused in certainclinicalsituations. Forexample, in patientswithchronicobstructivepulmonarydisease, thedescending-rampflowpatternorvariableflowassociatedwithpressure-controlventilation has beenshownto be preferable. • Flow-patternchangescould be accompaniedby a prolonging of inspiratorytimeswithshortenedexpiratorytimes, resulting in auto-PEEP.
