Purpose Much of the common practice in paediatric mechanical ventilation is based on
personal experiences and what paediatric critical care practitioners have adopted from adult …

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a mode of ventilation in which both the timing
and degree of ventilatory assist are controlled by the patient. Since NAVA uses the …

The review provides insights into the causes of patient-ventilator asynchrony and
mechanisms involved in the development of specific types of asynchrony. It explores the …

Conference for mechanical ventilation management of pediatric patients with acute …

Mechanical ventilation is a supportive treatment commonly applied in critically ill patients.
Whenever the patient is spontaneously breathing, the pressure applied to the respiratory …

Patient–ventilator asynchrony is a major issue during non-invasive ventilation and may lead
to discomfort and treatment failure. Therefore, the identification and prompt management of …

Introduction The need for intubation after a noninvasive ventilation (NIV) failure is frequent in
the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). One reason is patient-ventilator asynchrony during …

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) improves patient-ventilator synchrony during
invasive ventilation and leads to lower peak inspiratory pressures (PIP) and oxygen …

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a mode available on the Servo-i, Servo-n, and
Servo-u ventilator systems (Maquet Critical Care AB, Solna, Sweden) and is intended for …

The overall goal of the cardiorespiratory system is to provide the organs and tissues of the
body with an adequate supply of oxygen in relation to oxygen consumption. An …
