Abstract

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, radiation-free tool to monitor regional changes in ventilation. This report describes, for the first time, that unilateral atelectasis in an extremely low birth weight infant results in a loss of regional ventilation measured by EIT in the affected lung. EIT is currently the most promising technique to monitor regional lung aeration continuously at the bedside in this vulnerable population
