Search strategy
Records in Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were comprehensively searched from their inception up to 20 August 2022 with no language restrictions. The thematic terms “mechanical ventilation”, “neurally adjusted ventilatory assist”, “neonates”, “infants”, and related free words were combined in multiple ways to identify relevant studies. More specific details pertaining to the search strategy and related processes are shown in Supplementary File S1. The references lists of reports located via the above-described processes were also manually perused to identify additional potentially relevant studies.
