Several benefits make NAVA an appealing option in pediatric care:
Improved Synchrony: By aligning with the child's own respiratory efforts, NAVA can reduce the risk of ventilator-induced injury. Comfort: Children may find NAVA more comfortable as the support is more natural and less intrusive. Reduced Sedation: Better synchronization often means less need for sedation, which is particularly important in pediatric care. Enhanced Monitoring: The Edi signal provides valuable information about the patient's respiratory drive and effort, aiding in more precise management.
