While a patient is using mechanical ventilation, every breath is begun by the use of a trigger. Most ventilator modes use a set flow, pressure or time as the trigger. However, in the case of NAVA ventilation the trigger is the electrical signal from the brain to the phrenic nerve. The EdiCatheter transmits this signal and causes the diaphragm to elevate causing negative pressure to inspire flow from the ventilator. The patient’s peak inspiratory pressures (PIP) will vary based on the strength…
