The Effect of Body Position on Oxygenation, Ventilation, and Diaphragmatic Workload in Infants Born Premature on Noninvasive Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist
Prone positioning is associated with lower diaphragmatic workload in infants born premature on noninvasive NAVA. Despite this, infants had comparable clinical parameters in both prone and supine positions, suggesting that nivNAVA is able to eliminate differences related to body position to provide consistent proportional and synchronized respiratory support.
