Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has undergone 30 years of development. Functional
chest examinations with this technology are considered clinically relevant, especially for …

Objective: This review outlines the basic principle, in addition to validated and upcoming
clinical use of electrical impedance tomography (EIT). EIT generates functional tomograms …

Imbalances in regional lung ventilation, with gravity-dependent collapse and overdistention
of nondependent zones, are likely associated to ventilator-induced lung injury. Electric …

Objective: To assess the effect of delivering high-flow nasal cannula flow on end-expiratory
lung volume, continuous distending pressure, and regional ventilation distribution in infants …

Background Pronation ameliorates oxygenation in adults with acute respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS); the effect in neonates with ARDS or other types of respiratory failure is …

Rationale: Although surfactant replacement therapy is an established treatment in infant
respiratory distress syndrome, the optimum strategy for ventilatory management before …

Multi-frequency electrical impedance tomography (MFEIT) was proposed over 10 years ago
as a potential spectroscopic impedance imaging method. At least seven systems have been …

Rationale: Changes in oxygenation are often used to guide the recruitment procedure
during open lung high-frequency ventilation in preterm infants. However, data on the …

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a core life-support therapy for patients suffering from
respiratory failure or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Respiratory failure is a …

Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is an imaging technique based on multiple bio
impedance measurements to produce a map (image) of impedance or changes in …
