Background: We tested whether work of breathing in premature newborns estimated by phase angle (θ) by using respiratory inductance plethysmography is decreased during neurally-adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) noninvasive ventilation (NIV) versus NIV alone.
Methods: NAVA NIV and NIV were applied in random order while using respiratory inductance plethysmography to measure the phase angle.
Results: Patient-ventilator asynchrony was decreased during NAVA NIV; however, the phase angle was not different between the modes. A large number of repeated assists with switches to backup were found when using NAVA NIV. Results of the analysis indicated these were due to the apnea alarm limit set during NAVA NIV.
Conclusions: The improvement in patient-ventilator synchrony supports the hypothesis that work of breathing may be decreased with NAVA NIV; however, we were unable to demonstrate this with our study design. Short apnea time settings with NAVA NIV led to a large number of switches to backup and repeated assists during the same neural effort. (ClinicalTrials.gov registration NCT02788110.).

Background: Noninvasive neurally-adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) improves patient-ventilator synchrony and may reduce treatment failure in preterm infants compared with nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) and noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV). We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effects of NIV-NAVA in preterm infants with respiratory distress.
Methods: Four investigators independently assessed the eligibility of studies in CENTRAL, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.

Background: Guidelines recommend non-invasive ventilatory (NIV) support as first-line respiratory support mode in preterm infants as NIV is superior to intubation and mechanical ventilation in preventing death or bronchopulmonary dysplasia. However, with an ever-expanding variety of NIV modes available, there is much debate about which NIV modality should ideally be used, how, and when. The aims of this work were to summarise the evidence on different NIV modalities for both primary and secondary respiratory support: nCPAP, nasal high-flow therapy (nHFT), and nasal intermittent positive airway pressure ventilation (nIPPV), bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP), nasal high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (nHFOV), and nasally applied, non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) modes, with particular focus on their use in preterm infants.

Background: Preterm infants often require non-invasive breathing support while their lungs and control of respiration are still developing. Non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) is an emerging technology that allows infants to breathe spontaneously while receiving support breaths proportional to their effort. This study describes the first Australian Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) experience of NIV-NAVA.

Background: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is commonly used in clinical practice to reduce intubation times and enhance patient comfort. However, patient-ventilator interaction (PVI) during NIV, particularly with helmet interfaces, can be challenging due to factors such as dead space and compliance. Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) has shown promise in improving PVI during helmet NIV, but limitations remain.
