Description
Diaphragmatic electrical activity (EA(di)), reflecting respiratory drive, and its feedback control might be impaired in critical illness-associated polyneuromyopathy (CIPM). We aimed to evaluate whether titration and prolonged application of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA), which delivers pressure (P (aw)) in proportion to EA(di), is feasible in CIPM patients.
