The following is pressure/volume loop of a mechanically ventilated patient. X axis is the flow and Y axis is the volume.
Notice the graph at the part indicated by the orange arrow and let's answer this question:
Which of the following is(are) true about this dyssynchrony? (check all what apply)
0%Inspiratory effort by the patient at end of inspiration
0%Expiratory effort by the patient
0%May cause double triggerring
0%May need increased inspiratory flow
You can vote for more than one answer.
Thank you for your feedback, this is pressure/volume loop showing inspiratory effort by the patient indicated by a decrease in the pressure to a negative value associated with an increase in the volume. This may require to increase the flow or sedation and it may cause the patient to trigger another ventilator breath (double triggering).
