UK NAVA
Welcome to the website for the UK NAVA Trial
This website supports the UK NAVA Trial. This is a multicentre randomised controlled trial to compare Neurally-Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) versus standard care in critically ill patients at risk of prolonged ventilation.
​
NAVA technology combines neural drive monitoring (NAVA monitoring) with synchronised pressure support (NAVA mode) - two sides of one coin.
​
The trial was inspired by our patients and their families who have asked us to try to improve the way that ventilatory support is provided when people are critically ill.
​
The trial is funded by the HTA and supported by the Warwick Clinical Trials Unit. We are part of the CoReCCT Collaboration of Respiratory Trials.

"Being dependent on a machine to do something like your breathing is like having your life controlled by someone else. You literally disappear."

"As soon as the NAVA was commenced I could immediately see the improvement in my wife's breathing"
