Breath count and events classification methods. This figure shows an example of tracing with breath counts, reverse triggering and breath stacking. Top waveform (blue): airway pressure (Paw); middle waveform (red): flow; bottom waveform (green):  esophageal pressure (Pes). A breath is an insufflation followed by an expiration (even if short and incomplete); nine breaths are present on the figure. There are two reverse triggering on this figure, and the second reverse triggering causes breath stacking (definitions in the text).
