“…In line with the expectations of its fundamental principle, NAVA has in over 10 clinical studies been shown to decrease (and in several studies almost eradicate) patient-ventilator asynchrony, in comparison to other modes of ventilation [Alander et al 2012;Beck et al 2009;Bengtsson and Edberg, 2010;Breatnach et al 2010;Cammarota et al 2011;Clement et al 2011;Colombo et al 2008;de la Oliva et al 2012;Moerer et al 2008;Piquilloud et al 2011;Spahija et al 2010;Terzi et al 2010]. Based on these results, the relationship between NAVA and improved synchrony is well established.…”

“…2 Adult and pediatric studies showed that NAVA increases breath-to-breath variability and improves patient-ventilator synchrony and patient comfort. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] This last improvement is also effective in NIV in adult and pediatric subjects 10,11 and in very low birthweight infants, even in the presence of large leaks. 12 To our knowledge, no previous study was designed to evaluate this ventilation mode exclusively in the postoperative period after cardiac surgery in newborns.…”

BACKGROUND: Our objective was to evaluate the feasibility, the quality of synchronization, and the influence on respiratory parameters of the noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) mode in infants after cardiac bypass surgery. We conducted a prospective, randomized cross-over study in infants undergoing noninvasive ventilation (NIV) after cardiac surgery. METHODS: Subjects were 10 infants < 5 kg. After extubation, subjects underwent 2 consecutive ventilatory modes after randomization into groups. In the CPAP first group, the subjects were ventilated first in nasal CPAP-1 and then in NIV-NAVA-2 for 30 min in each mode. In the NIV-NAVA first group, periods were reversed. All children were ventilated using the same interface. RESULTS: The analysis of curves showed a synchronization rate of 99.3% for all respiratory cycles. The rate of pneumatic inspiratory trigger was 3.4%. Asynchronies were infrequent. Some typical respiratory patterns (continuous effort and discontinuous inspiration) were found at rates of 10.9% and 31.1%, respectively. The respiratory trends showed a lower maximum diaphragmatic electrical activity (EA di(max) ) in NIV-NAVA periods compared with CPAP periods (P < .001 in the beginning of periods). The breathing frequency decreased significantly during the nasal CPAP-2 and NIV-NAVA-1 periods (P < .05). The inspiratory pressure increased significantly during the NIV-NAVA-1 and NIV-NAVA-2 periods (P < .05), but there was no significant difference for each parameter when comparing ⌬ values between the beginning and the end of each period. The EA di signal was easy to obtain in all subjects, and no major side effects were associated with the use of NIV-NAVA. CONCLUSIONS: NIV-NAVA allows good synchronization in bi-level NIV in infant cardiac subjects weighing < 5 kg. The analysis of respiratory parameters shows that NIV NAVA decreases the work of breathing more effectively than nasal CPAP. The study shows some typical respiratory patterns in infants.

“…NAVA delivers mechanical assistance in proportion to patient effort, allowing the tailoring of the mechanical support to patient' respiratory characteristics. Several studies 15,[22][23][24][25][26] showed that NAVA is a safe and reliable mode in the pediatric and infant population. It improved synchrony and patient comfort, reduced ventilator drive, and increased breath-tobreath mechanical variability.…”

BACKGROUND: In adults and children, patient-ventilator synchrony is strongly dependent on both the ventilator settings and interface used in applying positive pressure to the airway. The aim of this bench study was to determine whether different interfaces and ventilator settings may influence patient-ventilator interaction in pediatric models of normal and mixed obstructive and restrictive respiratory conditions. METHODS: A test lung, connected to a pediatric mannequin using different interfaces (endotracheal tube [ETT], face mask, and helmet), was ventilated in pressure support ventilation mode testing 2 ventilator settings (pressurization time [Time press ] 50% /cycling-off flow threshold [Tr exp ] 25% , Time press80% /Tr exp60% ), randomly applied. The test lung was set to simulate one pediatric patient with a healthy respiratory system and another with a mixed obstructive and restricted respiratory condition, at different breathing frequencies (f) (30, 40, and 50 breaths/min). We measured inspiratory trigger delay, pressurization time, expiratory trigger delay, and time of synchrony. RESULTS: At each breathing frequency, the helmet showed the longest inspiratory trigger delay compared with the ETT and face mask. At f 30 , the ETT had a reduced T press . The helmet had the shortest T press in the simulated child with a mixed obstructive and restricted respiratory condition, at f 40 during Time press50% /Tr exp25% and at f 50 during Time press80% /Tr exp60% . In the simulated child with a normal respiratory condition, the ETT presented the shortest T press value at f 50 during Time press80% /Tr exp60% . Concerning the expiratory trigger delay, the helmet showed the best interaction at f 30 , but the worst at f 40 and at f 50 . The helmet showed the shortest time of synchrony during all ventilator settings. CONCLUSIONS: The choice of the interface can influence patient-ventilator synchrony in a pediatric model breathing at increased f, thus making it more difficult to set the ventilator, particularly during noninvasive ventilation. The helmet demonstrated the worst interaction, suggesting that the face mask should be considered as the first choice for delivering noninvasive ventilation in a pediatric model.

Neurally triggered breaths reduce trigger delay and improve ventilator response times in ventilated infants with bronchiolitis

Abstract: Neurally triggered breaths reduce trigger delay, improve ventilator response times, and may decrease work of breathing in children with bronchiolitis. Further analysis is required to determine if neurally triggered breaths will improve patient-ventilator synchrony.
