Summary

This prospective study evaluates the feasibility and safety of using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) to guide PEEP selection in mechanically ventilated infants and toddlers under 3 years of age. This population is challenging for its variety and anatomophysiologic peculiarity. A decremental PEEP trial using 1 cmH₂O steps following a recruitment maneuver at 35 cmH₂O was compared between EIT and other best PEEP assessment protocols.

Conditions

  • Pneumonia
  • Tetralogy of Fallot Correction
  • Caustics Ingestion

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Electrical Impedence Tomography

An EIT belt with 16 electrodes (PulmoVista® 500, Dräger Medical GmbH, Lübeck, Germany) appropriate to the children's weight was placed at the fourth or fifth intercostal space along the axillary line.
