New setting of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist for noninvasive ventilation by facial mask: a physiologic study

Abstract Background Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is generally delivered using pneumatically-triggered and cycled-off pressure support (PSP) through a mask. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is the only ventilatory mode that uses a non-pneumatic signal, i.e., diaphragm electrical activity...
