Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Mechanically ventilated patients who can tolerate pressure support ventilation (PSV) mode;
  • Respiratory stability: Ability to breathe spontaneously and effectively clear secretions via coughing; oxygen saturation (SpO₂) \>90% or a partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂)/FiO₂ ratio ≥150 mmHg when the ventilator's oxygen concentration is set to 40%;
  • Hemodynamic stability: Heart rate (HR) ≤120 bpm, systolic blood pressure (SBP) 90-150 mmHg, with no vasoactive agents or norepinephrine dosage ≤0.1-0.2 μg/kg·min (or equivalent doses of other vasoactive agents);
  • Metabolic stability, with an esophageal pressure monitoring catheter already placed prior to the trial;
  • Written informed consent obtained from the patient or their legal guardian.

Exclusion

  • Age \<18 years;
  • Pregnancy;
  • Hemodynamic instability: Mean arterial pressure (MAP) \<60 mmHg, heart rate (HR) \>120 bpm or \<60 bpm;
  • Respiratory instability: Respiratory rate (RR) \>35 bpm or oxygen saturation (SpO₂) \<90%;
  • Neuromuscular disorders or phrenic nerve injury;
  • Recent trauma or surgery involving the trachea, esophagus, neck, or thorax, contraindications to esophageal catheter insertion, or inability to monitor esophageal pressure;
  • High bleeding risk: Severe coagulopathy/bleeding disorders, esophageal/gastric varices, etc.
