The goal of this study is to identify patients with reverse triggering who's the potential to breath spontaneously is hidden because of the ventilator management strategy by performing a simple 30sec-test with includes reducing the support from the ventilator. The findings will provide clear advice to doctors on how to better care for these patients. This will be a pilot randomized clinical trial including 70 adult patients (aimed at equal number of men and woman) sedated and under controlled ventilation having reverse triggering. The study will be conducted in two ICUs: 1) St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto Canada and 2) Toronto Western Hospital, Toronto, Canada.
