What is Non-Invasive Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NIV NAVA)?
Non-Invasive Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NIV NAVA) is a ventilatory support mode that synchronizes a ventilator with the spontaneous breathing efforts of the neonate. Unlike traditional ventilatory support methods, NIV NAVA utilizes the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) to regulate the assistance delivered by the ventilator. This synchronization allows for improved comfort and potentially better clinical outcomes for neonates with various respiratory disorders.
