Abstract:BACKGROUND: Patient-mechanical ventilator (MV) asynchrony despite optimal adjustment of MV parameters is a common problem that is partly associated with difficult weaning of MV. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a mode of proportional ventilation that count on diaphragmatic activity (measured by special esophageal probe and expressed as diaphragm electrical [Edi]) to provide proportional support to patient effort which differs from one breath to another according to Edi signal.
