Respiratory failure & ventilation

A randomized controlled trial comparing non-invasive ventilation delivered using neurally adjusted ventilator assist (NAVA) or adaptive support ventilation (ASV) in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

J Crit CarePublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

The use of NAVA-NIV was not superior to ASV-NIV in reducing NIV failure rates in AECOPD.
