Relationship Between EIT and Respiratory Status in Very Preterm Infants

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Chronic Lung Disease of Prematurity, Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia, Premature Lungs

In brief

Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that can measure lung function in real time. This study will follow premature infants to see if EIT can help predict which infants will be successful in weaning off respiratory support by 32-33 weeks gestational age. If successful, EIT could be used to develop new guidelines for respiratory support in premature infants.
