Review Meta Analysis
Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) versus pressure support ventilation (PSV) during non-invasive ventilation (NIV): systematic review and meta-analysis.
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used during ventilatory support. Neurally-adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a mode of mechanical ventilation that can improve patient-ventilator interaction. We conducted a meta-analysis to compare patient-ventilator interaction and clinical outcomes between NAVA and pressure support ventilation (PSV) in adult subjects during NIV. ⋯ NAVA has advantages in ventilator-patient interaction compared to PSV in NIV. Further research is needed in order to estimate effects on clinical outcomes.
