Excerpt

Assisted ventilation may prevent muscle atrophy and reduce sedation needs in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). However, pressure support (PS) is difficult to implement in these patients: inspiratory flow peaks and drops rapidly and the ventilator expiratory phase may overlap patient inspiration causing asynchrony and barotrauma. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is an assisted ventilation mode driven by diaphragmatic electrical activity (EAdi) and should adapt better to patients' respiratory pattern. We measured whether NAVA could reduce asynchrony in severe ARDS patients undergoing ECMO. …
