Background Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is a strategy to maintain
positive airway pressure throughout the respiratory cycle through the application of a bias …

Background Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is a useful method for
providing respiratory support after extubation. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation …

Majority of extremely preterm infants require positive pressure ventilatory support at the time
of delivery or during the transitional period. Most of these infants present with respiratory …

Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is the major cause of respiratory failure in preterm
infants due to immature lung development and surfactant deficiency. Although the concepts …

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 …

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 …

Objective To compare the effects of noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-
NAVA) to nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in achieving successful …

Background Noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilator assist (NIV-NAVA) was introduced to
our clinical practice via a pilot and a randomized observational study to assess its safety …

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 …

Background Various types of noninvasive respiratory modalities that lead to successful
extubation in preterm infants have been explored. We aimed to compare noninvasive …
