Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) with Dr. Guillaume Emeriaud (2/2)

Guillaume Emeriaud MD PhD is a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Montreal and pediatric intensivist at Sainte Justine Hospital in Montreal, Canada. He is a physician scientist with a particular interest in improving pediatric assisted ventilation. In particular, he has developed expertise in monitoring diaphragmatic function by evaluating the electrical activity of the diaphragm. The results of this work have led to less invasive and more effective assistance for children, notably with the NAVA (neurally adjusted ventilatory assist) mode.
