RESUMEN
Patient-triggered modes of ventilation are currently the standard of practice in the care of term and preterm infants. Maintaining spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation promotes earlier weaning and possibly reduces ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction. A further development of assisted ventilation provides support in proportion to the respiratory effort and enables the patient to have full control of their ventilatory cycle. In this paper we will review the literature on two of these modes of ventilation: neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and proportional assist ventilation (PAV), propose future studies and suggest clinical applications of these modes.
