Abstract
Rationale: Reverse triggering (RT) occurs when respiratory effort begins after a mandatory breath is initiated by the ventilator. RT may exacerbate ventilator-induced lung injury and lead to breath stacking. Objectives: We sought to describe the frequency and risk factors for RT among patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and identify risk factors for breath stacking. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of physiologic data from children on synchronized intermittent mandatory pressure-controlled ventilation enrolled in a single-center randomized controlled trial for ARDS. When children had a spontaneous effort on esophageal manometry, waveforms were recorded and independently analyzed by two investigators to identify RT. Results: We included 81,990 breaths from 100 patient-days and 36 patients. Overall, 2.46% of breaths were RTs, occurring in 15/36 patients (41.6%). A higher tidal volume and a minimal difference between neural respiratory rate and set ventilator rate were independently associated with RT (P = 0.001) in multivariable modeling. Breath stacking occurred in 534 (26.5%) of 2,017 RT breaths and in 14 (93.3%) of 15 patients with RT. In multivariable modeling, breath stacking was more likely to occur when total airway Δpressure (peak inspiratory pressure - positive end-expiratory pressure [PEEP]) at the time patient effort began, peak inspiratory pressure, PEEP, and Δpressure were lower and when patient effort started well after the ventilator-initiated breath (higher phase angle) (all P < 0.05). Together, these parameters were highly predictive of breath stacking (area under the curve, 0.979).Conclusions: Patients with higher tidal volume who have a set ventilator rate close to their spontaneous respiratory rate are more likely to have RT, which results in breath stacking >25% of the time.Clinical trial registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03266016).
