Effects of Different Assisted Mechanical Ventilation in Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ALI/ARDS) Patients: Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV), Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) and Controlled by Patient

Policlinico Hospital15 enrolled

Overview

The investigators' aim is to study the effect of pressure support ventilation versus neurally adjusted assist (NAVA) and controlled by patient in mechanically ventilated ALI/ARDS subjects.

In this study, PSV is compared with NAVA and assisted mechanically ventilation controlled by patient through a button. Inclusion criteria are: assisted mechanically ventilated ALI/ARDS patients.
