Abstract

Objective: To compare effectiveness of the neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) with pressure support ventilation (PSV) in weaning process. Subject and method: 65 patients in the Bach Mai Hospital’s ICU were enrolled in the randomized control trial from the 1st of October 2015 to 30th of October 2017, in which 33 patients were mechanically ventilated by NAVA and 32 patients were on PSV. Result: Successful weaning rate in the NAVA group was 60.6% while this rate in the PSV group was 56.2% (p>0.05). Meanwhile, asynchronous index were 8.54% and 11.85% (p<0.001) for NAVA and PSV groups respectively. The total numbers of asynchronization were 2.21 ± 1.0 for the NAVA group and 2.95 ± 1.57 (p<0.001) for the PSV group. Free ventilating days by day 7th were  3.09 ± 1.62 days for NAVA and 3.52 ± 1.60 days for PSV (p>0.05). Moreover, the mortality rates by day 28th were 6.1% in the NAVA group compared to 6.2% in the PSV group (p>0.05). Conclusion: The neurally adjusted ventilatory assist has reduced patient-ventilator asynchronization.
