Sumario: | "Background: The prevalence of reverse triggering (RT) in the early phase of ARDS is unknown.
Research question: During early ARDS, what is the proportion of patients affected by RT,
what are its potential predictors, and what is its association with clinical outcomes?
Study design and methods: This was prospective, multicenter, and observational study.
Patients who met the Berlin definition of ARDS with less than 72 h of mechanical ventilation
and had not been paralyzed with neuromuscular blockers were screened. A 30-min recording
of respiratory signals was obtained from the patients as soon as they were enrolled, and the
number of breaths with RT were counted."
