Overview

Brief Summary

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a new concept of mechanical ventilation. NAVA delivers assist to spontaneous breathing based on the detection of the electrical activity of the diaphragm. We study the effect of changing ventilatory parameters on the patient's breathing pattern during NAVA.
