Abstract
patient ventilator asynchrony (PVA) is a condition where there is suboptimal interaction between patient and mechanical ventilator. It is common and often undetected with negative impact on patient’s outcome if unrecognized and addressed. Mechanical Ventilator waveforms analysis is a non-invasive and reliable way of recognizing PVAs where advanced methods of identifying PVA are lacking, however it has not been well studied on residents working in poor setups.
