Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyNeurally adjusted ventilatory assist in acute respiratory failure: a randomized controlled trial.
We hypothesized that neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) compared to conventional lung-protective mechanical ventilation (MV) decreases duration of MV and mortality in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). ⋯ NAVA decreased duration of MV although it did not improve survival in ventilated patients with ARF.
