non invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (niv nava)

How Does NIV NAVA Work?

NIV NAVA involves placing an esophageal catheter in the neonate to measure the electrical activity of the diaphragm. This Edi signal is then used to control the ventilatory support provided by the ventilator. The system adjusts the pressure support in real-time, based on the neural respiratory drive of the infant, ensuring that the ventilator assistance is proportional to the baby’s own efforts.
