NME could not be measured on 24 patient-days (46%) owing to the absence of Edi activity.
Abbreviations: SIMV, synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation; NAVA, neurally adjusted ventilatory assist; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; FiO2, fraction of inspired oxygen; Edi, electrical activity of the diaphragm.

Abbreviations: SIMV, synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation; NAVA, neurally adjusted ventilatory assist; PEEP, positive end-expiratory pressure; FiO2, fraction of inspired oxygen; Edi, electrical activity of the diaphragm Leane was 28 days old (3 kg) and was born at term.
EDI includes various activities designed to enhance a young child's development, directly via structured experiences and/or indirectly through influencing the care giving environment [ 1].
Airway pressure, flow, crural diaphragm EMG activity (Edi) and transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) were recorded for 5 minutes of every hour for up to 7 days.
We obtained a first 30-min recording in acute phase, i.e., as soon as possible after inclusion in the study, and an esophageal catheter was installed to record the electrical activity of diaphragm (Edi).
Indices of diaphragm function such as electrical activity of diaphragm (Edi), neuromuscular strength index (NMS), neuromechanical coupling (NMC) and neuroventilatory coupling (NVC) at 0, 5 and 30 minutes of SBT were monitored.
Patient ventilator asynchrony was analyzed by comparing the ventilator pressure curve and the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) signal with (1) a manual analysis and (2) using a standardized fully automated method.
NAVA is a mode of mechanical ventilation that delivers ventilatory assist in proportion to the Electrical activity of the Diaphragm (EDi), which mirrors the performance of the whole respiratory system.
For every situation, after obtaining a stability of the end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (ETCO2), pressure, volume, flow, and electromyographic activity of the diaphragm (Edi) were recorded during 5 min.
