PS-141 Haemodynamic Effects Of Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (nava) After Paediatric Cardiac Surgery - A Randomised Cross-over Study: Abstract PS-141 Table 1

Clinical Protocol. Category: General Icu Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist, Nava

Patient selection Today no literature exists that provides evidence that NAVA improves survival, length of ICU stay or time spent on the ventilator. However, compared to other ventilatory modes, ventilator support in NAVA more closely resembles normal respiratory physiology. Several studies have demonstrated improved patient-ventilator synchrony in NAVA compared to Pressure Support ventilation....

Physiological effects of invasive ventilation with neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) in a crossover study

BACKGROUND Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) is a mode of assisted mechanical ventilation that delivers inspiratory pressure proportionally to the electrical activity of the diaphragm. To date, no pediatric study has focused on the effects of NAVA on hemodynamic parameters. This physiologic study with a randomized cross-over design compared hemodynamic parameters when NAVA or conventi...

Neurally-adjusted Ventilatory Assist

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Compared with the conventional forms of partial support, neurally adjusted ventilatory assist was repeatedly shown to improve patient-ventilator synchrony and reduce the risk of overassistance, while guaranteeing adequate inspiratory effort and gas exchange. A few animal studies also suggested the potential of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist in averting the risk of ventil...

Feasibility Study on Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist in Noninvasive Ventilation After Cardiac Surgery in Infants.

BACKGROUND Our objective was to evaluate the feasibility, the quality of synchronization, and the influence on respiratory parameters of the noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) mode in infants after cardiac bypass surgery. We conducted a prospective, randomized cross-over study in infants undergoing noninvasive ventilation (NIV) after cardiac surgery. METHODS Subjects ...
