Every breath matters: NAVA ventilators at Akron Children's

For a newborn, sometimes just breathing can be a challenge. At Akron Children's, the use of Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) is helping these infants - and their parents - breathe easier. The NAVA ventilator is designed to respond to a child's individual respiration, providing help only as needed.
