Pressure Trigger on vent |
Triggering refers to the mechanism through which the ventilator senses inspiratory effort and delivers gas flow or a machine breath in concert with the patient's inspiratory effort. In modern ventilators, the demand valve is triggered by either a fall in pressure (pressure trigger) or a change in flow (flow trigger). |
