Abstract

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT),
as a monitoring tool of regional lung ventilation,
is radiation-free imaging with high
temporal resolution. Te most important
purpose of EIT is to visualize the distribution
of tidal volume in diferent lung regions
especially between dependent (dorsal
in supine patients) and non-dependent
(ventral in supine patients) regions.
Many clinical studies evaluated the applicability
of PulmoVista® 500 (Dräger Medical
GmbH, Lübeck, Germany) and similar
EIT devices in estimating optimal PEEP
afer recruitment maneuvers (RM) in lung
healthy patients and acute respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS), ventilation distribution
in cystic fbrosis, COPB, pneumonia
and respiratory diseases syndrome in
infants.
