Double triggering and asynchrony on mechanical ventilation

Double triggering is a type of ventilator-patient dyssynchrony that occurs when two ventilator breaths are delivered within one patient inspiratory effort. It can be caused by a shorter inspiratory time of the mechanical breath than the patient’s neural inspiratory time. Double triggering can lead to higher tidal volumes and breath stacking, which may increase the risk of lung injury.
