NAV-ALI: Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist in Patients Recovering Spontaneous Breathing After Acute Lung Injury

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Acute Lung Injury; Mechanical Ventilation

• Registration Number: NCT00963066
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Caen

Brief Summary

Evaluation of a new ventilatory mode Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist "NAVA" in patients who recover spontaneous breathing after acute lung injury.

Detailed Description

Physiological evaluation of two modes of mechanical ventilation: Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) vs Pressure Support Ventilation, at different levels of ventilator assistance.

Evaluation in term of physiological parameters: Tidal volume, Respiratory rate, Inspiratory effort, PaCO2, evaluation of subject-ventilator synchrony.

Evaluation of physiological response to varying levels of ventilator assistance.
