[Effects of expiratory triggering sensitivity on patient-ventilator expiratory synchrony and work of breathing in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease during pressure support ventilation].
To study the effects of expiratory triggering sensitivity (ETS) on patient-ventilator expiratory synchrony and work of breathing in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients during pressure support ventilation (PSV). ⋯ The proper adjustment of ETS during PSV improves patient-ventilator synchrony and decreases work of breathing in COPD patients.
