Excerpt

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) improves oxygenation in acute lung injury (ALI) patients by increasing end-expiratory lung volume (EELV). Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a relatively new non-invasive bedside method to monitor regional distribution of tidal ventilation and EELV changes, validated in preclinical studies. We tested EIT as a monitor of PEEP-induced tidal redistribution and EELV changes in ALI patients, and the relationship between EIT parameters and oxygenation. …
