Recruiting NCT05612256

Electrical Impedance Tomography for Identification of Optimal Positive End-expiratory Pressure in Newborn Infants

Conditions: Positive End-expiratory Pressure (PEEP)

Sex: All

Ages: 0 Days – 28 Days

Enrollment: 86

Sponsor: University Children's Hospital Basel

Location: Switzerland

Summary

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) enables assessment of regional lung ventilation at the bedside. EIT has been safely used in newborn infants to image intrathoracic lung volume patterns as early as from the first minute of life. This prospective single-centre observational study is to identify optimal PEEP in infants on respiratory support by measurements of EIT, FOT and SOPI.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:22+0 to 41+6 weeks' gestational ageRequiring mechanical ventilationWritten informed parental consentExclusion Criteria:Major congenital malformations including lung and cardiac malformationsInfants on high frequency oscillatory ventilationLack of written informed parental consent
