title: Expiratory asynchrony.
abstract: Expiratory asynchrony is a universal phenomenon, and expiratory synchrony occurs only by chance. Expiratory asynchrony exists in all breath modes and has a significant impact on the patient's work of breathing and the weaning process. Advancements in ventilator designs and basic physiologic science could lead to the improvement of the expiratory asynchrony.
