Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective is to compare the incidence of patient-ventilator-asynchrony during paediatric mechanical ventilation using ventilator waveforms with PVA detected by using the ventilator waveforms in combination with diaphragm and intercostal EMG. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| -Level and time course of incidence PVA. -Time course of distribution of type of PVA. -Level and time course of diaphragm EMG. -Level and time course of intercostals EMG. -Level and time course of phase angle distribution. -Effect of imposed work of breathing on incidence PVA. | — |
