These are machine-triggered mandatory breaths. During mid-inspiration, a pressure drop appears on the pressure-time scalar along with a corresponding spike on the inspiratory flow-time scalar. This indicates the onset of neural inspiration induced by passive mechanical inflation - a phenomenon known as reverse triggering. The patient's neural effort persists beyond the set inspiratory time, triggering another breath during the expiratory phase and resulting in a double trigger.
