Recommendations for lung ventilation and perfusion assessment with chest electrical impedance tomography in critically ill adult patients.

Global Consensus on Electrical Impedance Tomography in Critical Care 🩺 Abstract Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, radiation-free imaging technology that allows continuous bedside monitoring of lung ventilation and perfusion in critically ill patients. Despite its increasing use, standardized international guidelines have been lacking. This large-scale Delphi consensus study—led by the REspiratory and Critical […]

Ventilation distribution during spontaneous breathing trials predicts liberation from mechanical ventilation: the VISION study

Abstract Background Predicting complete liberation from mechanical ventilation (MV) is still challenging. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) offers a non-invasive measure of regional ventilation distribution and could bring additional information. Research question. Whether the display of regional ventilation distribution during a Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) could help at predicting early and successful liberation from MV. Study

Distribution of airway pressure opening in the lungs measured with electrical impedance tomography (POET): a prospective physiological study

Abstract Background In patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) under mechanical ventilation, the change in pressure slope during a low-flow insufflation indicates a global airway opening pressure (AOP) needed to reopen closed airways and may be used for titration of positive end-expiratory pressure. Objectives To understand 1) if airways open homogeneously inside the lungs

Electrical impedance tomography monitoring in adult ICU patients: state-of-the-art, recommendations for standardized acquisition, processing, and clinical use, and future directions

Abstract Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an emerging technology for the non-invasive monitoring of regional distribution of ventilation and perfusion, offering real-time and continuous data that can greatly enhance our understanding and management of various respiratory conditions and lung perfusion. Its application may be especially beneficial for critically ill mechanically ventilated patients. Despite its potential, clear
