The NCMS therefore requires continuous review to enhance the effective reimbursement level for those who require high levels of assistance.
The robustness of this protective biofeedback provided by proportional modes, as opposed to PSV, is illustrated in the present study by the marked alteration of the coupling between VT and EAdi max (that is, higher VT /EAdi ratio) observed with PSV at high levels of assistance (see Figure 2), which was not observed with the two proportional modes.
PAV and NAVA prevented the increase of VT with high levels of assistance (median 7.4 (interquartile range (IQR) 5.7 to 10.1) ml/kg and 7.4 (IQR, 5.9 to 10.5) ml/kg with PAV150 and NAVA150 versus 10.9 (IQR, 8.9 to 12.0) ml/kg with PSV150, P <0.05).
As well as being affected directly and indirectly by stress on the family, in particular on their parents, siblings of children with autism are vulnerable to emotional stress through being seen as and seeing themselves as responsible for unusually high levels of assistance within the home [ 16].
