Brief Summary: Pressure support (PS) is a commonly used mode of ventilation which is triggered based upon the patient's own inspiratory efforts. For the most part, pressure support is well tolerated by patients. However, because the trigger for pressure support is an inspiratory effort by the patient, and because the resulting support is constant, the ventilator response can be "out of sync" with the patient's needs. The problem of patient-ventilator asynchrony has been documented to be large in approximately one quarter of patients who require mechanical ventilation. Asynchrony is associated with increased or abnormal work of breathing (WOB) and prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation. Diagnosing asynchrony at the bedside can be challenging. Electrical activation of the diaphragm (Eadi) recording can provide clinicians with a more accurate picture of patient-ventilator synchrony and may thus result in decreased asynchrony and decreased or normalized work of breathing for the patient. The purpose of this physiologic study is to evaluate the role of protocolized pressure support ventilation (based upon Eadi) in comparison to standard pressure support ventilation.
Detailed Description: Pressure support will be readjusted according to Eadi recording in different steps.

The optimized pressure support will be compared to the initial pressure support.
