Comparative effects of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist and variable pressure support on lung and diaphragmatic function in a model of acute respiratory distress syndrome: A randomised animal study

CONCLUSION Noisy PSV and NAVA did not reduce global lung injury compared with PCV but affected different biomarkers and attenuated diaphragmatic atrophy. NAVA increased the respiratory variability; however, NAVA yielded a similar SVA incidence as Noisy PSV. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial was registered and approved by the Landesdirektion Dresden, Germany (AZ 24-9168.11-1/2012-2).
