Official Title: Comparison of Conventional Non-Invasive Ventilation and Neurally-Adjusted Ventilatory Assistance (NAVA) Non-Invasive Ventilation for the Treatment of Bronchiolitis
Brief Summary: This project aims to answer whether the use of a Neurally-Adjusted Ventilatory Assistance mode for non-invasive ventilation in pediatric patients with bronchiolitis results in improved comfort and reduced escalations in therapy (including intubation) when compared to using a standard mode of non-invasive ventilation.
Neurally-Adjusted Ventilatory Assistance (NAVA) has been shown to result in greater synchrony then the standard mode of non-invasive ventilation.
The study team hypothesizes that this improved synchrony can result in important clinical improvements when NAVA is used to treat children with bronchiolitis.
