Mechanical Ventilation Controlled by the Electrical Activity of the Patient's Diaphragm - Effects of Changes in Ventilator Parameters on Breathing Pattern

NCT00529347 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

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.
