}BACKGROUND
Neuro-ventilatory efficiency (NVE), defined as the tidal volume to electrical diaphragm-activity ratio (VT/EAdi) at the beginning and end of the weaning process after acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure, may provide valuable information about patient recovery.
METHODS
This observational study included 12 patients breathing with neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA). When a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) with pressure support of 7 cm H2O and PEEP was unsuccessful, NAVA was…

NAVA reduces patient-ventilator asynchrony index and generates a respiratory pattern similar to PSV during SBTs, and may be submitted to an SBT in NAVA using the same objective criteria used for SBTs in PSV.

It is demonstrated that NAVA improves patient-ventilator synchrony for increased assist levels and unloads the respiratory muscles with lower pressures and volumes compared to PS.

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) allowed proper patient-ventilator synchronization by pressure support proportional to the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) in a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome complicated by respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation.

During weaning from mechanical ventilation, the diaphragmatic contribution to the breathing process may be reduced by residual midazolam-induced ventilatory depression, and the increased EAdi with reversal of residual sedation was associated with a proportional increase in VT.

In this pilot study, NAVA could be titrated to different diaphragm unloading levels based on the NVE index, and less unloading was associated with greater diphragm activity and improved ventilation of the dependent lung regions.

Results suggest that daily titration of NAVA level with an electrical goal of ~60% EAdimaxSBT is feasible and well tolerated, and the respiratory mechanics improvement and increase in respiratory drive allowed for a daily reduction of the NAVAlevel while preserving breathing, oxygenation, and alveolar ventilation until extubation.

During NAVAal, increasing PEEP reduces respiratory drive and patients adapt their neuroventilatory efficiency such that the individual ventilatory pattern is preserved over a wide range of PEEP levels.

This study shows that a mixed group of critically ill patients for whom weaning fails have increased neural respiratory drive and impaired ability to convert neuromuscular activity into tidal ventilation, in part because of diaphragm weakness.

In healthy subjects, NAVA can safely and efficiently unload the respiratory muscles during maximal inspiratory maneuvers, without failing to cycle-off ventilatory assist and without causing excessive lung distention.

Rapid shallow breathing, as reflected by the f/VT ratio, was the most accurate predictor of failure, and its absence the most accurately predictor of success, in weaning patients from mechanical ventilation.
