Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Age > 18 y.o.

- Admission to ICU for post-operative monitoring after LTx

- Presence of spontaneous breathing activity

- Sedation titrated to a target RASS between 0 and -2

- Written informed consent obtained

Exclusion Criteria:

- Contraindication to nasogastric tube insertion (gastroesophageal surgery in the
previous 3 months, gastroesophageal bleeding in the previous 30 days, history of
esophageal varices, facial trauma)

- Increased risk of bleeding with nasogastric tube insertion, due to severe coagulation
disorders and severe thrombocytopenia ( i.e., INR > 2 and platelets count <
70.000/mm3)

- Severe hemodynamic instability (noradenaline > 0.3 µg/kg/min and/or use of
vasopressin)

- Postoperative extracorporeal respiratory support (ECMO)

- Pre-operative reconditioning of the transplanted lungs by means of ex-vivo lung
perfusion (EVLP)

- Lung retransplantation

- Failure to obtain a stable EAdi signal



Age minimum: 18 Years
Age maximum: N/A
Gender: All
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Lung Transplant; Complications
Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury
Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist
Work of Breathing
Intervention(s)
Device: NAVA ventilation
Primary Outcome(s)
Evaluation of the variations of Electrical Activity of the Diaphragm in response to different levels of ventilatory assist at different degrees of lung inflation (different Positive End Expiratory Pressure values) [Time Frame: One hour after the recovery of spontaneous breathing]
Evaluation of the changes in the patient's neural breathing pattern (expressed as mL of Tidal Volume) at different levels of ventilatory assist [Time Frame: One hour after the recovery of spontaneous breathing]
Evaluation of the changes in the patient's neural breathing pattern (expressed as respiratory rate) at different levels of ventilatory assist [Time Frame: One hour after the recovery of spontaneous breathing]
Evaluation of the variations of Neuro-ventilatory Efficiency (expressed as microvolt of EAdi / mL of Tidal Volume Ratio) in response to different levels of ventilatory assist at different degree of lung inflation [Time Frame: One hour after the recovery of spontaneous breathing]
Evaluation of the variations of Neuro-Mechanical Coupling (expressed as microVolt of EAdi /cmH2O of airway pressure Ratio) in response to different levels of ventilatory assist at different degrees of lung inflation [Time Frame: One hour after the recovery of spontaneous breathing]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Ultrasound assessment of the changes of Diaphragm's Thickening Fraction at different levels of Positive End Expiratory Pressure and at different NAVA gains [Time Frame: One hour after the recovery of spontaneous breathing]
Evaluation of the feasibility of Plateau Pressure during NAVA [Time Frame: One hour after the recovery of spontaneous breathing, with inspiratory hold manoeuvres]
Assesment of the total asynchrony index (double triggering + missed efforts + inspiratory trigger delay +short cycling + prolonged cycling) [Time Frame: One hour after the recovery of spontaneous breathing]
