➡️ Ventilator Dyssynchrony
Ventilator dyssynchrony is characterized by inappropriate timing of a delivered breath between a patient and the mechanical ventilator. This increases work of breathing and makes it more difficult for the patient to breathe comfortably on the machine. In this case, due to intubation, the patient is unable to communicate which makes it challenging for Respiratory Therapists and medical professionals. Patient-ventilator asynchrony is a similar term used to describe this interaction and can generally be used interchangeably with ventilator dyssynchrony.

➡️ Adverse Effects
- Patient discomfort
- Increased work of breathing (WOB)
- Respiratory distress
- Increased anxiety
- Overdistension
- Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI)
- Prolonged sedation
- Prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation
- Increased time in the ICU

➡️ Causes
- Ineffective triggering
- Incorrect ventilator mode
- Incorrect ventilator settings
- Inappropriate triggering
- Flow dyssynchrony
- Exhalation dyssynchrony
- Auto-PEEP
- Artificial airway problems
- Drug-induced problems
- Certain lung diseases

➡️ Management
The management of ventilator dyssynchrony depends on the specific cause. Since inappropriate ventilator settings are typically involved, making proper adjustments appears to be the best treatment method. For example, the practitioner may need to adjust the flow, sensitivity, or inspiratory time. A different ventilator mode may be considered as well.

➡️ Ventilator Modes
Patient-ventilator dyssynchrony can occur in both assisted and controlled mechanically ventilated breaths. The less control the ventilator has on the patient’s respiratory pattern, the less likely they will experience dyssynchrony. Volume-controlled ventilation typically results in more cases of dyssynchrony because it controls volume, flow, and time. Modes such as Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) typically result in the least amount of dyssynchrony cases. Proportional Assist Ventilation (PAV) and Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) are two ventilator modes that are effective in avoiding dyssynchrony. That is because they allow the patient to select the ventilatory pattern that is delivered.
