PSP
PSP, setting the inspiratory pressure support ≥8 cmH2O to obtain a tidal volume of 6-8 mL•kg-1 of body weight, the fastest rate of pressurization (0.0 sec) and I/E cycling at 35% of peak inspiratory flow
NAVA
NAVA, adjusting the NAVA level in order to achieve a comparable peak EAdi (EAdipeak) as during PSP with a safety Paw upper limit of 30 cmH2O
PSN
PSN, setting the NAVA level at its maximum (i.e; 15 cmH2O/mcV), and an upper Paw limit such to obtain the same overall Paw applied during PSP
