Reverse Triggering: An Introduction to Diagnosis, Management, and Pharmacologic Implications.


ABSTRACT: Reverse triggering is an underdiagnosed form of patient-ventilator asynchrony in which a passive ventilator-delivered breath triggers a neural response resulting in involuntary patient effort and diaphragmatic contraction. Reverse triggering may significantly impact patient outcomes, and the unique physiology underscores critical potential implications for drug-device-patient interactions. The purpose of this review is to summarize what is known of reverse triggering and its pharmacotherapeutic consequences, with a particular focus on describing reported cases, physiology, historical context, epidemiology, and management. The PubMed database was searched for publications that reported patients presenting with reverse triggering. The current body of evidence suggests that deep sedation may predispose patients to episodes of reverse triggering; as such, providers may consider decreasing sedation or modifying ventilator settings in patients exhibiting ventilator asynchrony as an initial measure. Increased clinician awareness and research focus are necessary to understand appropriate management of reverse triggering and its association with patient outcomes.
