Lung Transplantation Clinical Trial
— NAVAMECHOfficial title:
Evaluation of the Relationship Between Electrical Activity of the Diaphragm and Respiratory Mechanics During Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist in Lung Transplant Patients.
Protective ventilatory strategy should be applied to reduce both ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD) after Lung Transplantation (LTx). Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) is an assisted ventilation mode in which respiratory support is coordinated by the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi). Aim of the study is to assess the physiological relationship between neural respiratory drive as assessed by EAdi and tidal volume, driving pressure and mechanical power, at different levels of ventilatory assist, in the absence of pulmonary vagal afferent feedback.
