A major reason for this is that the lungs are not fully developed. Lungs of preterm babies will often collapse in between breathing due to lung immaturity. Applying gentle pressure, using nasal device through their nostril or through the breathing tube helps to prevent this lung collapse. This would help in air-oxygen going to lungs and also makes the babies breathing more comfortable. This gentle pressure is medically called as PEEP\u002FCPAP and could be delivered by breathing machine (ventilator) and CPAP machine, collectively called as \"continuous distending pressure (CDP)\".\n\nThose babies breathing on their own and receiving inadequate CDP would need more breathing support by placing them on breathing machine (ventilator). The longer the baby receives breathing machine support, higher chance of lung injury . Preterm infants who are already on breathing machine, providing sub optimal PEEP\u002FCPAP could also lead to lung damage. Providing optimal PEEP\u002FCPAP could prevent these negative outcomes. Currently there is not enough evidence to suggest optimal PEEP\u002FCPAP in preterm infants. Neonatal units all around the world uses PEEP\u002FCPAP ranging from 4 to 10cm H20 based on their unit practice. Currently available investigations provide limited one time information (e.g. Chest X-ray) regarding whether baby is receiving optimal PEEP\u002FCPAP. Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a new technology which could provide better information regarding the pressure delivered. Also, this device would provide continuous information as if the clinicians are doing continuous chest X-ray but without any radiation. In this study, the team will assess the effect of different levels of PEEP\u002FCPAP (4 to 10cm H20) on prevention of lung collapse using EIT.

In recent years, EIT has become a routine tool in critical care settings due to its capacity to provide real-time, bedside insights into pulmonary function. Its applications are diverse, ranging from support during non-invasive ventilation and endotracheal intubation (2) to the management of complex cases of mechanical ventilation. One of its key advantages lies in guiding the optimization of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) titration, which may help tailor ventilatory support to individual patients and potentially reduce the mechanical power delivered to the lungs(3,4).\n\nDespite these benefits, current evidence does not conclusively demonstrate a reduction in mortality associated with the use of EIT in critical care (5,6). Nevertheless, EIT shows promise in several emerging areas, such as monitoring ventilation distribution during prone positioning - even in awake, non-intubated patients (7) - and in the early detection of atelectasis under various clinical conditions (8).\n\nRecently, advancements in EIT technology have led to the development of new models capable of assessing pulmonary \"pulsatility,\" thereby expanding the potential clinical applications of EIT beyond traditional ventilation monitoring. This feature may facilitate the bedside detection of conditions such as atelectasis, pneumonia, pleural effusion, and even pulmonary embolism (9,10).\n\nIn this context, the Intensive Care Unit at Erasme Hospital is acquiring two EIT devices to enhance diagnostic capabilities and improve the care of patients requiring either non-invasive or invasive ventilation during their ICU stay. To support the systematic implementation of these devices and enable future research, it is necessary to establish a registry documenting their clinical use within the ICU. This registry will serve as a foundation for tracking usage patterns, evaluating outcomes, and potentially contributing to future scientific studies.\n\nStandard ICU data such as SOFA scores and SAPS II will be recorded, as is already routinely done in some registries like Epimed.\n\nThis registry will be specific to the Erasme ICU and will collect detailed data on ventilation parameters, EIT measurements, and recruitment maneuvers in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation-whether invasive or non-invasive-when the clinical team determines that a recruitment maneuver is indicated and chooses to use an EIT device for monitoring.\n\nData will be entered into RedCap by the attending physicians or physiotherapists responsible for the patient.\n\nData collection will be prospective, as it is not technically possible to automatically synchronize the recording of ventilation parameters and EIT measurements using the existing software systems.\n\nThere are no expected risks for the patients, as the procedures involved are considered standard practice in intensive care settings.\n\nPatients may benefit from the collection of these data, as it allows for closer monitoring of ventilation parameters during their ICU stay.\n\nAs this is a registry-based study, there will be no predefined duration or fixed number of patients. However, we estimate data will be recorded over a five-year period, with an inclusion of at least 300 patients per year.\n\nInclusion Criteria for ICU Patients:\n\n* Patient aged more than 12 years old (no pediatric EIT belt)\n* Patient monitored by an EIT belt OR Patient undergoing a recruitment maneuver OR Patient undergoing prone position.",[154,155,156,34],"ARDS","Alveolar Recruitment Manoeuvres","Prone Position",[154,158,159,160,115,161],"Recruitment manoeuvres","Prone positioning","PEEP optimization","Electrical impedance tomography","2025-09-17",{"date":164,"type":42},"2025-09-22",{"date":166,"type":20},"2025-10-15",{"date":168,"type":20},"2031-04",{"name":170,"class":49},"Erasme University Hospital",{"id":172,"slug":173,"hasResults":11,"nctId":174,"briefTitle":175,"officialTitle":176,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":177,"healthyVolunteers":178,"sex":16,"minAge":90,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":179,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":95,"phases":4,"briefSummary":180,"conditions":181,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":38,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":182,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":183,"startDateStruct":185,"completionDateStruct":186,"leadSponsor":187,"locationsCount":4},"100589438","the-clinical-application-of-eit-in-clinically-ill-patients-a-cross-sectional-study-100589438","NCT06954415","The Clinical Application of EIT in Clinically Ill Patients: a Cross-sectional Study","The Clinical Application of Electrical Impedance Tomography in Clinically Ill Patients: a Cross-sectional Study","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* occupation is \"respiratory therapist or part-time respiratory therapy doctor\u002Fnurse\";\n* work city or area belongs to China;\n* to complete electronic questionnaires to fill out and submit.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* work city or area not belongs to China;\n* The questionnaire is not completed or quit midway;\n* Other invalid questionnaires.",true,{"count":150,"type":20},"The application of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in intensive care is increasing.
