Physiologic parameters. NIV-PS, noninvasive pressure support; NIV-NAVA, noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist; paO2:FiO2, arterial oxygen tension to inspired oxygen fraction ratio; paCO2, arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure; RR, respiratory rate; HR, heart rate. Data are collected at baseline at PICU admission, 2 h after starting NRS in each group (n 30 patients in NIV-NAVA and 34 patients in NIV-PS group), and at 24 h in nonintubated patients in both groups (n 26 patients in NIV NAVA and n 14 patients in NIV-PS group). *p < 0.05: NIV NAVA comparison at 2 and 24 h vs baseline; §p < 0.05: NIV-PS comparison at 24 h vs baseline; °°p < 0.05: NIV NAVA vs NIV PS at 2 h; **p < 0.001: NIV NAVA vs NIV
