    • Electric impedance tomography-guided PEEP titration reduces mechanical power in ARDS: a randomized crossover pilot trial
    Authors: Jose Victor, Jimenez; Elizabeth, Munroe; Andrew J., Weirauch;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome undergoing mechanical ventilation, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can lead to recruitment or overdistension. Current strategies utilized for PEEP titration do not permit the distinction. Electric impedance tomography (EIT) detects and quantifies the presence of both collapse and overdistension. We investigated whether using EIT-guided PEEP titration leads to decreased mechanical power compared to high-PEEP/FiO2 tables.
