Electrical Activity of the Diaphragm and Respiratory Mechanics During NAVA
Evaluation of the Relationship Between Electrical Activity of the Diaphragm and Respiratory Mechanics During Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist in Lung Transplant Patients and in Patients Affected by Acute Respiratory Failure.
University of Padova

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Protective ventilatory strategy should be applied to reduce ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) after Lung Transplantation (LTx) or in case of acute respiratory failure requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) is an assisted ventilation mode in which respiratory support is coordinated by the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi). Aim of the study is to assess the physiological relationship between neural respiratory drive, as assessed by EAdi, and tidal volume, driving pressure, and mechanical power, at different levels of ventilatory assist, in the absence of pulmonary vagal afferent feedback or during acute respiratory failure. Additional parameters will be collected: Pmus, Pocc, transpulmonary pressure etc.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria5
- Age \> 18 y.o.
- Admission to ICU for post-operative monitoring after LTx or acute respiratory failure needing invasive mechanical ventilation
- Presence of spontaneous breathing activity
- Sedation titrated to a target RASS between 0 and -2

Exclusion Criteria7
- Contraindication to nasogastric tube insertion (gastroesophageal surgery in the previous 3 months, gastroesophageal bleeding in the previous 30 days, history of esophageal varices, facial trauma)
- Increased risk of bleeding with nasogastric tube insertion, due to severe coagulation disorders and severe thrombocytopenia ( i.e., INR \> 2 and platelets count \< 70.000/mm3)
