There are several types of asynchrony that can occur in neonates:
1. Trigger Asynchrony: This occurs when the ventilator fails to detect the infant's attempt to initiate a breath. 2. Flow Asynchrony: This happens when the ventilator's flow rate does not match the infant’s inspiratory demand. 3. Cycle Asynchrony: This type occurs when the ventilator ends the breath either too early or too late compared to the infant's natural respiratory cycle. 4. Expiratory Asynchrony: This is seen when the ventilator and the infant are not synchronized during the exhalation phase, often leading to gas trapping and increased work of breathing.
