Identification and Characterization of Reverse Triggering in Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Using an Automated Tool

Key Points

• This research aims to recognize and describe the phenomenon of reverse triggering in patients suffering from acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.
• Utilized an automated tool to monitor airflow and airway pressure
• Conducted prolonged recordings to assess respiratory patterns
• Analyzed the relationship between reverse triggering and respiratory effort across different patients
• Reverse triggering was frequently identified during recordings
• Typically associated with low respiratory effort
• Showed significant variability across the patient population
