During neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA), it is difficult to quantify the relative contribution of the patient versus the ventilator to the inspiratory tidal volume (Vt(insp)). To solve this problem, we developed an index, the "patient-ventilator breath contribution" (PVBC), using the inspiratory deflection of the diaphragmatic electrical activity (∆EAdi) and Vt(insp) during assisted and non-assisted breaths. This study evaluated the PVBC index in an experimental setup.

Abstract

During neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA), it is difficult to quantify the relative contribution of the patient versus the ventilator to the inspiratory tidal volume (Vt(insp)). To solve this problem, we developed an index, the "patient-ventilator breath contribution" (PVBC), using the inspiratory deflection of the diaphragmatic electrical activity (∆EAdi) and Vt(insp) during assisted and non-assisted breaths. This study evaluated the PVBC index in an experimental setup.
