Brief summary

The investigators' aim is to study the effect of pressure support ventilation versus neurally adjusted assist (NAVA) and controlled by patient in mechanically ventilated ALI/ARDS subjects.

Detailed description

In this study, PSV is compared with NAVA and assisted mechanically ventilation controlled by patient through a button. Inclusion criteria are: assisted mechanically ventilated ALI/ARDS patients.
