Some studies suggest that noninvasive ventilation with NAVA is effective in preventing intubation, allowing early extubation, and providing synchronized support, while other studies indicate no significant effect on oxygen requirements or the need for invasive ventilation in preterm newborns.

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a critical intervention for managing respiratory distress in neonates, aiming to avoid the complications associated with invasive mechanical ventilation. Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) is a novel mode of NIV that uses the electrical activity of the diaphragm to synchronize ventilatory support with the patient's own respiratory efforts. This synthesis explores the efficacy and benefits of NIV-NAVA in neonates, particularly in comparison to other noninvasive methods like nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV).
Patient-Ventilator Synchrony and Comfort:
Prevention of Intubation and Early Extubation:
Reduction in Apnea, Bradycardia, and Desaturation Events:
Comparison with CPAP and NIPPV:
Challenges and Limitations:
NIV-NAVA offers several advantages over traditional noninvasive ventilation methods, including improved patient-ventilator synchrony, reduced need for intubation, and fewer apnea and bradycardia events. While it shows comparable efficacy to CPAP and NIPPV, it also presents unique challenges that require further investigation. Overall, NIV-NAVA is a promising mode of noninvasive ventilation for neonates, particularly in managing respiratory distress and facilitating smoother transitions from invasive to noninvasive support.
