Non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU): an Australian NICU experience.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Preterm infants often require non-invasive breathing support while their lungs and control of respiration are still developing. Non-invasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) is an emerging technology that allows infants to breathe spontaneously while receiving support breaths proportional to their effort. This study describes the first Australian Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) experience of NIV-NAVA.

Methods

Retrospective cohort study of infants admitted to a major tertiary NICU between October 2017 and April 2021 supported with NIV-NAVA. Infants were divided into three groups based on the indication to initiate NIV-NAVA (post-extubation; apnoea; escalation). Successful application of NIV-NAVA was based on the need for re-intubation within 48 h of application.

Results

There were 169 NIV-NAVA episodes in 122 infants (82 post-extubation; 21 apnoea; 66 escalation). The median (range) gestational age at birth was 25 + 5 weeks (23 + 1 to 43 + 3 weeks) and median (range) birthweight was 963 g (365-4320 g). At NIV-NAVA application, mean (SD) age was 17 days (18.2), and median (range) weight was 850 g (501-4310 g). Infants did not require intubation within 48 h in 145/169 (85.2%) episodes [72/82 (87.8%) extubation; 21/21 (100%) apnoea; 52/66 (78.8%) escalation).

Conclusion

NIV-NAVA was successfully integrated for the three main indications (escalation; post-extubation; apnoea). Prospective clinical trials are still required to establish its effectiveness versus other modes of non-invasive support.
