Electrical Impedance Tomography as a monitoring tool during weaning from mechanical ventilation: an observational study during the spontaneous breathing trial

Background: Prolonged weaning from mechanical ventilation is associated with poor clinical outcome. Therefore, choosing the right moment for weaning and extubation is essential. Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a promising innovative lung monitoring technique, but its role in supporting weaning decisions is yet uncertain. We aimed to...
