1 In this tracing of 30 seconds, 4 breaths are ineffectively triggered (arrows IT) and 7 are effectively triggered. In this tracing of 30 seconds, 4 breaths are ineffectively triggered (arrows IT) and 7 are effectively triggered. The rate displayed on the ventilator is 14 breaths/min, but the actual rate is 22 breaths/min. Note that the ineffectively triggered breaths occur while exhalation is incomplete (flow is not zero, arrows IE), suggesting that air-trapping may be the cause of ineffective triggering.
