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.enNeurally adjusted ventilatory assist in patients with critical illness-associated polyneuromyopathyarticle10.7892/boris.55942204871800029715530000810.1007/s00134-011-2376-0
