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 NAVA on cardiac performance in critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients.

Conditions

• Respiratory Failure
• Cardiac Failure

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) provided by a commercially available mechanical ventilator (Servo i, Maquet Critical Care, Solna, Sweden).	Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and pressure support ventilation (PSV)
