Use of Electrical Impedance Tomography for Optimization of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Doctors follow a standard ventilator management strategy when making adjustments to the
breathing machine to optimize the amount of oxygen into the lungs. The purpose of this study
is to assess whether the EIT (electrical impedance tomography) device can be an additional
useful tool for ventilator management and identifying the ideal positive end-expiratory
pressure (PEEP).


Inclusion Criteria:

- Endotracheal ventilation for < 1 week (168 hours)

- Presence of all of the following conditions for < 48 hours i. PaO2/FiO2 < 150 with
PEEP > 5 cm H2O for > 30 min. ii. bilateral opacities not fully explained by
effusions, lobar/lung collapse, or nodules iii. respiratory failure not fully
explained by cardiac failure or fluid overload

- All criteria listed in (3) developed within 1 week of a known clinical insult or new
or worsening respiratory symptoms

Exclusion Criteria:

- Lack of informed consent

- Known pregnancy

- ECMO

- Severe chronic respiratory disease requiring home oxygen therapy or ventilation

- Calculated BMI of greater than 50
