Clinical Trial Summary

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) has been shown to improve patient- ventilator interaction and reduce asynchronies. This is a short-term physiologic comparison between PSV (pressure support ventilation) and NAVA in delivering noninvasive ventilation through a nasal cannula, in premature infants postextubation. Patients will undergo a 30-min crossover trial of noninvasive PSV and NAVA, 15 minutes each. Diaphragm electrical activity (EAdi)and airway pressure (Paw) are recorded to derive neural and mechanical respiratory rate and timing, inspiratory trigger delays time of synchrony between diaphragm contraction and ventilator assistance, and the asynchrony index (AI).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Trigger Delay Inspiratory trigger delay could be calculated by the time interval between beginning of the increase of actual diaphragmatic excitation and start of ventilator inspiratory flow of each respiration. The value will be present as a mean of all inspiratory trigger delay measurements of all respiration during last 5 minutes of each 15 minutes trial. last 5-min of each 15-min trial No
Secondary Ti_excess (Inspiratory Time in Excess) Ti_excess = (VPT-NIT)/NIT
VPT: ventilator pressurization time (VPT) between beginning and end of inspiratory flow NIT: neural inspiratory time (NIT) between beginning of the increase in the diaphragmatic excitation and its maximal value
last 5-min of each 15-min trial No
Secondary Minute Ventilation Volume inspiratory tidal volume / respiratory rate last 5-min of each 15-min trial No
Secondary Peak Inspiratory Pressure last 5-min of each 15-min trial No
Secondary Pneumatic Respiratory Rate last 5-min of each 15-min trial No
Secondary Maximum EAdi last 5-min of each 15-min trial No
Secondary Swing EAdi last 5-min of each 15-min trial No
Secondary Leakage [TVi (inspiratory tidal volume) - TVe (expiratory tidal volume)]/TVi (inspiratory tidal volume) last 5-min of each 15-min trial No
Secondary All Asynchrony Events last 5-min of each 15-min trial No
Secondary Asynchrony Index total number of each event per minute
ineffective efforts: presence of a characteristic EAdi (electrical activity of diaphragm) activity not followed by a ventilator delivered pressurization
auto-triggering: a cycle delivered by the ventilator without EAdi signal
premature cycling
delayed cycling: VPT > NIT x2
double triggering
Asynchrony index = [(1)+(2)+(3)+(4)+(5)]/[(1)+pneumatic respiratory rate] x100
last 5-min of each 15-min trial No
Secondary SpO2 transcutaneous peripheral saturation of oxygen by pulse oximeter last 5-min of each 15-min trial Yes
Secondary Heart Rate last 5-min of each 15-min trial Yes
Secondary Blood Pressure systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure measured by non-invasive cuff last 5-min of each 15-min trial Yes
Secondary Respiratory Rate last 5-min of each 15-min trial Yes
