    Evolution of peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and mean airway pressure (̄Paw) in the 4 h preceding and following the start of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA). Box plots illustrate the median values, interquartile range, and spread.

  • Fig. 3.
    Fig. 3.

    Evolution of peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) in the 4 h preceding and following the start of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) depending on the timing of NAVA initiation (before or after 72 h postadmission, A) or the presence of risk of right ventricular failure or low pulmonary flow (B). Data are presented as median with interquartile ranges.
