Ventilator Asynchrony with Obstructed Airways!

Ventilator asynchrony occurs when there’s a mismatch between a patient’s breathing efforts and the ventilator’s timing or flow, leading to patient discomfort, increased work of breathing, and potential respiratory complications. Common types include trigger asynchrony, where the ventilator may fail to recognize or respond slowly to patient efforts; flow asynchrony, where the provided flow does not match the patient’s demand; and cycle asynchrony, where the transition from inspiration to expiration is poorly timed. Recognizing asynchrony through clinical signs and ventilator waveforms, and adjusting settings like sensitivity, flow, or inspiratory time, are essential for improving patient-ventilator synchrony and optimizing respiratory support.

Thank you❤

[@muhammedharshad9074]

Thank you…. Explained well

@ICUREACH As I commented before we had the same asynchrony with obstructed airway alarm intermittently. Pt was on PC-AC. We increased the PIP from 18 to 25. Asynchrony disappeared. No more obstructed airway alarms for the rest of the shift. Keep posting these short interesting waveform videos.

Thank you for the explanation !!!

[@macha3119]

Had similar pressure and flow waveforms like the second breath today at work. The obstructed airway alarm came on intermittently

Sir plzz explain inhalation exhalation again on pateint

[@ICUREACH]

Coordinate patient efforts with the ventilator, you will see that ventilator is giving a breath but cannot deliver any flow due to active exhalation of the patient.

Thanks sir ​@@ICUREACH
