hi during my career i used cpu ohmeda , advent ohmeda , bear 1 ,bennett ma1 , hamilton veolar , ensgstrom lkb , evita s, 2 dura , evita 4 ,servo 900, servo 300 ,cesar (cfpo), horus and extend(taema) , servo i , now general electric engstrom i tried 840 , hamilton galileo , different bird , elysée saime all have gold points but for me each has some lacks wo prevent one to be the best for all purpose so i think that a mix of two (three?)different brand is better to insure you will have at every moment a ventilator who cares best your patient so for vni mode i prefer evita but i am not satisfied with the electronics parts and software (failures ++ !!) on the opposite servo i is from my experience more reliable but ask more work to set alarms , and is a little less useful for vni than evita engstrom general electric is probably a little less friendly and a little less easy wor weaning and NIV but much more useful and powerful to treat and monitor ARDS so in our intensive care unit we have a mix of old 7200 puritan for basic care(very close to 840 ?) ( post operative, acute self poisoning ie barbiturates) servo i is the common machine for every other patient NIV or not , and we keep engstrom for severe acute failure such ards and only for invasive ventilation in future 7200 would be withdrawn and replaced i think with a mix of basic servo i and engstrom | |||

Having used both, I think both are great vents. I use PAV quite frequently and I use it more than PSV. I have used NAVA in the past and I am not sold on it yet. However, the I is a solid package and either vent will be an excellent tool to any facility | |||

Curious comment about NAVA, that you used it in the 'past'. Hospital that are using NAVA are just getting it now. I would be interested in know what hospital and what your experience was. There is so much to learn about NAVA any insight would be great. | |||
