The New England Journal of Medicine: Ventilation in Extremely Preterm Infants and Respiratory Function at 8 Years
Nature: Effect of changing NAVA levels on peak inspiratory pressures and electrical activity of the diaphragm in premature neonates
Effect of changing NAVA levels on peak inspiratory pressures and electrical activity of the diaphragm in premature neonates
Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) represents a significant advancement in mechanical ventilation whereby the respiratory support is modulated in real time by the patient’s own diaphragmatic ...
OBJECTIVES: To examine ventilatory support for the VLBW infant over the past 10 years in a single academic NICU and determine factors that predicted length of ventilation, death, and CLD. STUDY DESIGN ...
Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) synchronizes spontaneous respiratory effort with mechanical ventilation. Electrodes detect the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) and transmit this ...
The New England Journal of Medicine: Massive Air Embolism in a Neonate with Pulmonary Hypoplasia
At birth this baby girl was found to have left pneumohydrothorax and marked pulmonary hypoplasia that was treated with mechanical ventilation. After continued deterioration, she received ...
VTV in combination with synchronised ventilation has a lower mortality rate before discharge in preterm babies compared with other invasive ventilation techniques. It also reduces the risk of ...
