Effort of Breathing and Dyssynchrony Burden During Assisted Ventilation in Paediatric Patients
Sponsor: The Hospital for Sick Children
Summary
The goal of this trial is to learn if one mode of mechanical ventilation (i.e. machine to help with breathing) is better than another in children who need help from a machine to breathe. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How hard do children need to work to breathe when they are using different types of modes of mechanical ventilation? * Evaluate which mode of mechanical ventilation performs better when the patient is clinically awake enough to start breaths

Interventions
Pressure Control Mode
In pressure control mode every breath is controlled by the ventilator, including when the breaths are delivered. This mode is typically used when patients are sedated and unable to breathe on their own.
Pressure Support Mode
In pressure support mode every breath is initiated and controlled by the patient. This mode is used when patients are awake enough to take all breaths on their own.
