Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has undergone 30 years of development. Functional
chest examinations with this technology are considered clinically relevant, especially for …

Purpose Imaging has become increasingly important across medical specialties for
diagnostic, monitoring, and investigative purposes in acute respiratory distress syndrome …

Purpose Assessing efficacy of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in optimizing positive
end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients to …

Background Assessing alveolar recruitment at different positive end-expiratory pressure
(PEEP) levels is a major clinical and research interest because protective ventilation implies …

Abstract Setting the proper level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is a cornerstone
of lung protective ventilation. PEEP keeps the alveoli open at the end of expiration, thus …

Introduction The course of the disease in SARS-CoV-2 infection in mechanically ventilated
patients is unknown. To unravel the clinical heterogeneity of the SARS-CoV-2 infection in …

In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the aerated and nondependent ventral lung
is the most susceptible to ventilatorinduced lung injury (1–6). When positive pressure …

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, radiation-free method of
diagnostics imaging, allowing for a bedside, real-time dynamic assessment of lung function …

When compared, most of the methods give the same positive end-expiratory pressure
values in patients with higher and lower recruitability. The positive end-expiratory …

Background Lung-protective ventilation is claimed to be beneficial not only in critically ill
patients, but also in pulmonary healthy patients undergoing general anaesthesia. We report …
