Brief Summary

The term ''Non-invasive ventilation'' (NIV) refers to various methods of respiratory assistance, in the absence of an indwelling endotracheal tube. In recent years, the use of NIV has increased for the treatment of both acute and chronic pediatric respiratory failure. Patient tolerance to the technique is a critical factor determining its success in avoiding endotracheal intubation. One of the key factors determining tolerance to NIV is optimal synchrony between the patient's spontaneous breathing activity and the ventilator's set parameters, known as ''patient-ventilator interaction''. Indeed, synchronization of the ventilator breath with the patient's inspiratory effort, optimizes comfort, minimizes work of breathing and reduces the need for sedation. During NIV, several factors can significantly interfere with the function of the ventilator, leading to an increased risk of asynchrony. Indeed, the presence of unintentional leaks at the patient-mask interface, the sensitivity of inspiratory and expiratory triggers, the ability to compensate for intentional and unintentional leaks and the presence/absence of expiratory valves are all factors that likely play a role in determining patient-ventilator synchronization. The investigators therefore designed the present crossover trial in order to compare the degree of respiratory asynchronies during NIV using different ventilators (Turbine-driven ventilator vs. compressed air-driven ICU ventilators) and different setups (single circuit vs. double circuit) in children with acute respiratory failure.
