Application of Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist to Children After Congenital Cardiac Surgery

August 7, 2012 updated by: Limin Zhu, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine

Application of Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist to Children After Congenital Cardiac Surgery: the Effect of Patient-ventilator Interaction, Gas Exchange and Hemodynamics

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a new mode of mechanical ventilation that delivers ventilatory assist in proportion to neural effort. It was a controlled randomized single-center prospective study in order to explore the efficacy of this new mode of mechanical ventilation after corrective open-heart surgery for congenital heart disease.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

  1. To evaluate the effect of the patient-ventilator interaction in children underwent open-heart surgery when ventilated with NAVA, compared with conventional mechanical ventilation.
  2. To verify the benefits of NAVA in improving the gas exchange and hemodynamics after biventricle repair for CHD.
