Core Tip	Neurally adjusted ventilator assist (NAVA) ventilation utilizes the patient’s neural respiratory drive to synchronize ventilatory support on a breath-by-breath basis based on the infant’s ongoing needs. It appears to work well in neonates but evidence that it makes a difference in outcomes in this population has not been established so far. The majority of studies have shown no significant adverse events in neonates ventilated with NAVA nor a difference in the rate of intraventricular hemorrhage, pneumothorax, or necrotizing enteroco-litis when compared to conventional ventilation. The challenge for neonatal health care providers remains the steep and prolonged learning curve for the application of NAVA.
