FEASIBILITY OF 24 Hrs VENTILATION WITH NEURALLY ADJUSTED VENTILATORY ASSIST (NAVA) IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) for Respiration, Artificial and Respiratory Insufficiency. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) is a new mode of mechanical ventilation that is controlled by the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi). The EAdi is a signal that represents the patient's breathing effort, and hence with NAVA, the assist being delivered is synchronized and proportional to the demands of the patient. This is a prospective physiological study of the feasibility of NAVA ventilation over 24 hours. The aim is to demonstrate that NAVA can maintain spontaneous breathing and unload the respiratory muscles during both sleep and wake cycles over a 24 hour period.
