Session 08. Lung EIT
In this pilot clinical study, we assessed the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on tidal recruitment and overdistension in mechanically ventilated patients. Changes in EIT-derived regional respiratory system compliance (Crs) induced by variation of tidal volume (VT) were analysed in the chest cross-section and identified the simultaneous occurrence of tidal recruitment and overdistension in the examined patients.
