Asynchrony index under PSV and PAV+. Physiological study. Asynchrony index, defined as ineffective efforts/(effective efforts + ineffective efforts) under pressure support ventilation (PSV) with the lowest tolerated pressure support level and proportional assist ventilation with load-adjustable gain factors (PAV+) with the gain adjusted to target a peak muscle pressure between 5 and 10 cmH2O. A The box plots represent the asynchrony index (thick horizontal bar: median; extremities of the boxes: 25th and 75th percentiles; thin horizontal bars: fifth and 95th percentiles). * Denotes statistical significance. B Individual data
