Purpose: Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) is a mode of ventilation designed to improve patient-ventilator interaction by interpreting a neural signal from the diaphragm to trigger a supported breath. We hypothesized that neurally triggered breaths would reduce trigger delay, ventilator response times, and work of breathing in pediatric patients with bronchiolitis. Methods: Subjects with a clinical diagnosis of bronchiolitis were studied in volume support (pneumatic trigger) and NAVA (pneumatic and neural trigger) in a crossover design. Airway flow and pressure waveforms were obtained with a pneumotachograph and computerized digital recorder and were recorded for 120 s for each experiment. Results: Neurally triggered breaths had less trigger delay (ms) (40 +/- 27 vs. 98 +/- 34; p
