Discussion
We found that the addition of the estimated Despite all advances in mechanical ventilation, patient-ventilator asynchrony is still common [In the current study, we took the approach to noninvasively estimate the Our finding of a 20% increase in the detection rate of asynchronies corresponded to an absolute increase of 13 percentage points. Conversely, specificity was high in the control group and was not affected by the intervention likely because health professionals seldom overdiagnose asynchronies. We believe that this modest increase in the asynchronies’ detection rate was at least in part related to the fact that participants had no previous training with visualization of the Our study has some strengths and limitations. In the run-in period, all participants had access to a lecture with the goal to uniformize their definitions of the various asynchronies according to the current literature [
