@Everyone Notice no flow is associated with the second, third, and forth breath. These three breaths are delivered by the ventilator with positive pressure but no flow or volume. Patient obstructed the delivery of these breaths with assynchrony. The fifth breath is initiated by the patient with negative pressure and resulted into inspiratory flow and inspiratory volume of around 900 mL. Expiration was not long enough to exhale the whole volume and autoPEEP is generated. Patient was paralyzed after this.
