Electrical Impedance Tomography for Identification of Optimal Positive End-expiratory Pressure in Newborn Infants

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Positive End-expiratory Pressure (PEEP)

In brief

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) enables assessment of regional lung ventilation at the bedside. EIT has been safely used in newborn infants to image intrathoracic lung volume patterns as early as from the first minute of life. This prospective single-centre observational study is to identify optimal PEEP in infants on respiratory support by measurements of EIT, FOT and SOPI.
