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 rol

Objective. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) produces clinical useful visualization of the distribution of ventilation inside the lungs. The accuracy of EIT-derived parameters can be compromised by the cardiovascular signal. Removal of these artefacts is challenging due to sp

Data analysis for electrical impedance tomography (EIT) research requires manual selection of sequences with a normal breathing pattern. This procedure is lengthy and the lack of a standardised approach results in different practices among EIT studies, limiting the potential and

Invasive mechanical ventilation is the cornerstone of respiratory failure treatment. Setting ventilator parameters is a balancing act between providing adequate oxygenation and ventilation on the one hand, and minimizing lung damage and adverse cardiovascular effects on the other
