Resumen
Patient-ventilator asynchrony, defined as a mismatch between patient's inspiratory time and the ventilator insufflation time, occurs in nearly 25% of intubated patients. High asynchrony rates are associated with higher incidence of weaning failure and tracheostomy, and prolonged mechanical ventilation. The aim of this study was to compare the asynchrony rate during conventional pressure support ventilation (PSV) and automated PSV (SmartCare; Draeger) in difficult-to-wean patients.
