Participant Flow

Informed consent was obtained for 15 participants. However, the reason there are only 2 participants listed under "total started in participant flow" is because these were the only participants who were actually randomized. The other 13 participants were extubated and did not need BiPAP/NAVA. They were not randomized and were excluded.

Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Neurally-Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA)
Synchronized biphasic non-invasive respiratory support Neurally-Adusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA): Delivery of positive pressure is based on the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi) via a nasogastric (NG) catheter that is placed on the phrenic nerve, which runs along the esophagus. This results in synchronous ventilation for the patient.
Biphasic Positive Airway Pressure Support (BiPAP)
Conventional non-invasive respiratory support Biphasic Positive Airway Pressure Support (BiPAP): Conventional form of non-invasive respiratory support that does not deliver positive airway pressure in a synchronous fashion.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 14 days post-operatively

Population: There were no FLACC scores in the electronic medical record for either of these 2 participants so this is why there are no results reported.
