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.
