Patient –ventilator asynchrony, impact on clinical outcomes and effectiveness of interventions: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Further studies with adjustment for confounding factors are warranted to determine the impact of PVA on clinical outcomes.Trial registration protocols.io (URL:https://www.protocols.io/view/the-impact-of-patient-ventilator-asynchrony-in-adu-bsqtndwn, 08/27/2020).
