Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist: insufficient evidence of broad clinical outcomes--reply.
Apnea is traditionally defined as complete cessation of air flow for 10 seconds or greater. Central apnea may be associated with pathophysiologic changes, including stroke, brainstem lesion, encephalitis, and congestive heart failure.1 For patients with an artificial airway who are being supported with mechanical ventilation, apnea may be associated with oversedation and with hypocapnia during ...
متن کاملImpact of Ventilatory Modes on the Breathing Variability in Mechanically Ventilated Infants: A Commentary
OBJECTIVES Reduction of breathing variability is associated with adverse outcome. During mechanical ventilation, the variability of ventilatory pressure is dependent on the ventilatory mode. During neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA), the support is proportional to electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi), which reflects the respiratory center output. The variability of EAdi is, ther...
متن کاملEffect of ventilatory variability on occurrence of central apneas.
OBJECTIVE To compare the influence of 2 ventilation strategies on the occurrence of central apneas. METHODS This was a prospective, comparative, crossover study with 14 unsedated subjects undergoing weaning from mechanical ventilation in the medical ICU of Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur, Montréal, Québec, Canada. The subjects were ventilated alternately in neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) a...
متن کاملRespiratory support by neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) in severe RSV-related bronchiolitis: a case series report
BACKGROUND Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a new mode of mechanical ventilation controlled by diaphragmatic electrical signals. The electrical signals allow synchronization of ventilation to spontaneous breathing efforts of a child, as well as permitting pressure assistance proportional to the electrical signal. NAVA provides equally fine synchronization of respiratory support an...
متن کاملNeurally adjusted ventilatory assist increases respiratory variability and complexity in acute respiratory failure.
BACKGROUND Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a partial ventilatory support mode where positive pressure is provided in relation to diaphragmatic electrical activity (EAdi). Central inspiratory activity is normally not monotonous, but it demonstrates short-term variability and complexity. The authors reasoned that NAVA should produce a more "natural" or variable breathing pattern th...
