Patient–ventilator asynchrony is a major issue during non-invasive ventilation and may lead
to discomfort and treatment failure. Therefore, the identification and prompt management of …

The objective of this study was to assess ability to identify asynchronies during noninvasive
ventilation (NIV) through ventilator waveforms according to experience and interface, and to …

Introduction: Patient–ventilator asynchrony may occur with modes of partial ventilatory
support. Because this problem is associated with worsened outcomes, identifying and …
