The podcast discusses the concept of triggering on the ventilator, including the three types of triggers: time, pressure, and flow. It explores the importance of adjusting trigger settings on the servo eye ventilator to prevent auto-triggering. The failure of ventilator triggering is also explored, along with the role of intrinsic PEEP. The chapter concludes by discussing the differentiation between double and reverse triggering, and the significance of NAVA technology in precise breath timing.
