Effect of neurally adjusted ventilator assist versus pressure support ventilation on asynchronies and cardiac function in pediatric liver transplantation.

ABSTRACT: In pediatric liver recipients perioperative factors may affect respiratory and cardiac function, and prolong mechanical ventilation during post-operative period. The use of NAVA can improve the interaction between the patient and the ventilator from both a respiratory and cardiac perspective. The objective of this study is to evaluate the synchronization between the patient and the ventilator, as well as cardiac function, during the application of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and pressure support ventilation (PSV) in pediatric liver transplant recipients. This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, physiological cross-over controlled trial conducted between 2021 and 2022. Children (1 month-10 years old) who underwent liver transplantation were admitted to the pediatric
