An automated classification algorithm for the detection of expiratory ineffective efforts in patient-ventilator interaction is developed and validated. Using this algorithm, 5624 breaths from 23 patients in a pulmonary ward were examined. The participants (N = 23) underwent both conventional and non-invasive ventilation. Tracings of patient flow, pressure at the airway, and transdiaphragmatic pressure were manually labeled by an expert. Overall accuracy of 94.5% was achieved with sensitivity 58.7% and specificity 98.7%. The results demonstrate the viability of using pattern classification techniques to automatically detect the presence of asynchrony between a patient and their ventilator.

The prompt identification and correction of patient-ventilator asynchronies (PVA) remain a cornerstone for ensuring the quality of respiratory failure treatment and the prevention of further injury to critically ill patients. These disruptions, whether due to over- or under-assistance, have a profound clinical impact not only on the respiratory mechanics and the mortality associated with mechanical ventilation but also on the patient's cardiac output and hemodynamic profile. Strong evidence has demonstrated that these frequently occurring and often underdiagnosed events have significant prognostic value for mechanical ventilation outcomes and are strongly associated with prolonged ICU stays and hospital mortality.

Article Synopsis
- Critically ill patients often need mechanical ventilation and sedation for comfort, and managing sedation is crucial for successful weaning from ventilation.
- There is evidence supporting light sedation practices and simultaneous spontaneous awakening and breathing trials, yet these methods are not consistently applied in clinical settings.
- Prioritizing analgesia over sedatives and using tools like dexmedetomidine can aid in the weaning process, but more research is needed, especially for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Does patient-ventilator asynchrony really matter?

Purpose Of Review: Past observational studies have reported the association between patient-ventilator asynchronies and poor clinical outcomes, namely longer duration of mechanical ventilation and higher mortality. But causality has remained undetermined. During the era of lung and diaphragm protective ventilation, should we revolutionize our clinical practice to detect and treat dyssynchrony?
Recent Findings: Clinicians' ability to recognize asynchronies is typically low.
Noninvasive neurally-adjusted ventilatory assist in preterm infants: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Noninvasive neurally-adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) improves patient-ventilator synchrony and may reduce treatment failure in preterm infants compared with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) and noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effects of NIV-NAVA in preterm infants with respiratory distress.
Methods: Four investigators independently assessed the eligibility of studies in CENTRAL, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.
