Abstract:The aim of the present study is to analyse changes in the diaphragmatic electromyography integral, as a direct expression of the patients inspiratory effort and index of neural respiratory drive, and parameters associated with ventilatory function in patients with prolonged weaning under Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) and Neurally Adjusted Ventilatoy Assist (NAVA). Five patients affected by neuromuscular diseases were recruited. Each patient underwent a sequence of decreasing inspiratory support levels und… Show more
