NAVA Use in Preterm Neonates With Respiratory Distress Syndrome

5 november 2026 uppdaterad av: Rania Ali El-Farrash, Ain Shams University

Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist [NAVA] Versus Conventional Ventilation in Preterm Neonates With Respiratory Distress Syndrome

A randomized controlled clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of NAVA in comparison with conventional ventilation (SIMV) in preterm neonates with respiratory distress syndrome.

Studieöversikt

Detaljerad beskrivning

Numerous methods for ventilating patients are available in both invasive and noninvasive modes. However, patient-ventilator asynchrony has been a persistent problem .

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) improves patient-ventilator synchrony in preterm infants, leading to reduced work of breathing, lower peak inspiratory pressures (PIP), and decreased oxygen requirements compared to conventional ventilation . This improved synchrony results in better oxygenation and ventilation, potentially reducing the risk of lung injury and other complications associated with mechanical ventilation in preterm neonates . . NAVA is a mechanical ventilation modality in which the ventilator assists the patient breath in proportion to and in synchrony with the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) .EAdi is a fast and accurate reflection of phrenic nerve activity arising from central respiratory centers.

During NAVA use, a nasogastric or orogastric tube with electrodes is placed in the patient to detect changes in the diaphragm's electrical activity (Edi) more than 60 times per second . The diaphragm contracts as the phrenic nerves deliver the signal to breathe. The ventilator measures the strength of this activity and provides an appropriately sized breath based on the patient's own effort .

As synchronization in NAVA is independent of pressure or flow trigger and independent of leaks, NAVA has a strong potential to increase invasive ventilation efficiency .

Patient-ventilator asynchrony occurs when the ventilator fails to detect the patient's breath or detects it too late in the breathing cycle, leading to complications that include increased sedation, discomfort, and possibly higher morbidity and mortality .

With NAVA, the patient is actually controlling the trigger, delivery and cycling of every breath. The ventilator becomes completely synchronous with the patient avoiding the undesirable outcomes of patient-ventilator asynchrony. Since the Edi is a reflection of neural respiratory output, ventilator breath delivery is in synchrony with neural control of ventilation .

Beskrivning

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Gestational age ≤ 34 weeks.
  2. Neonates that have RDS according to clinical and radiological findings
  3. Neonates requiring invasive mechanical ventilation.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 1) Preterm neonates that have respiratory distress due to causes other than respiratory distress syndrome including transient tachypnea of new born , congenital pneumonia and sepsis. 2)Central and peripheral conditions that limit the respiratory drive, as well as diaphragmatic anatomical defects in patients with an intact respiratory drive, comprise the contraindications to NAVA

    • Examples are the following:

      • Central disorder: paralytic drug use, respiratory drive suppression due to heavy sedation or brain injury.
      • Peripheral disorder: phrenic nerve injury, paralytic agent administration.
      • Structural (anatomical) disorder: esophageal atresia, diaphragmatic hernia. 3) Cardiac patients including aortic coarctation , double outlet right ventricle (DORV), Tetralogy of Fallot and Transposition of the great arteries (TGA). 4) Surgical patients including gastroschisis , omphalocele , tracheoesophageal fistula and congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
