evaluation electrical activity of diaphragm and respiratory drive during successful weaning of traumatic quadriplegic patient by neutrally adjusted ventilatory assist mode

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist during weaning from respiratory support in a case of guillain-barré syndrome.

We report a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome complicated by respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) allowed proper patient-ventilator synchronization by pressure support proportional to the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi). Prolonged ventilation with NAVA seems feasible in patients with neuromuscular impairment, but the weaning ...

Initiation of the Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist Mode in the Neonatal Period in Iran

Abstract: The new neonatal ventilation methods have been developed along with utilization of new technological tools.This device is synchronized with the patient’s respiratory efforts. The ideal synchronized breath needs to be synchronous with initiation, size, and termination of the breath without delay in detecting of initial resiratory effort by device .The synchrony of respiration contribut...

Neuro-ventilatory efficiency during weaning from mechanical ventilation using neurally adjusted ventilatory assist.

BACKGROUND Neuro-ventilatory efficiency (NVE), defined as the tidal volume to electrical diaphragm-activity ratio (VT/EAdi) at the beginning and end of the weaning process after acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure, may provide valuable information about patient recovery. METHODS This observational study included 12 patients breathing with neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA). When a s...

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...
