Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist and Synchrony in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (NAVASYNC)

September 3, 2019 updated by: Jerome Allardet-Servent, MD, Hôpital Européen Marseille

Effect of Mechanical Ventilation With NAVA and PSV on Inspiratory Muscle Workload and Synchrony in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

NAVA used the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) to initiate and deliver in proportion of an inspiratory assistance. During inspiration, EAdi signal occurred earlier than airflow or pressure variations in the airway. The investigators hypothesized that NAVA improved patient-ventilator synchrony and reduced inspiratory workload as compared with pressure support ventilation delivered at two different cycling criteria (25 and 50 %).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: PSV-ET 25
Pressure support ventilation with expiratory trigger set at 25 %.
Varying the cycling criterion according to the percentage of peak inspiratory flow
