NCT01159106 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the current study is to compare the application neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) to optimize pressure support ventilation in 12 pediatric patients.

Conditions

  • Patient/Ventilator Asynchrony

Interventions

OTHER

Pressure Support Ventilation

Spontaneous mode of ventilation whereby the patient initiates the breath and the ventilator delivers support with the preset pressure value

OTHER

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA)

Gas delivery from the mechanical ventilator is triggered, controlled and cycled by the diaphragmatic EMG signal (Edi). The ventilator is aware of the change in diaphragmatic EMG by the insertion of a specially designed nasogastric tube with EMG electrodes that cross the diaphragm.
