Electrical Impedance Tomography Accurately Reflects Regional Ventilation Distribution Compared with Computed Tomography in Non-Intubated Subjects

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in assessing ventilation distribution compared to computed tomography (CT).
Assess ventilation using EIT in non-intubated subjects.
Compare EIT results with those from computed tomography.
Monitor subjects during spontaneous breathing.
EIT accurately reflects ventilation distribution.
Findings indicate EIT's validity and reliability as a measurement tool.
EIT provides comparable results to computed tomography.

EIT demonstrates accurate regional ventilation distribution in non-intubated individuals, suggesting its reliability as a diagnostic tool.

EIT was a valid and reliable instrument for assessing ventilation distribution in non-intubated subjects during spontaneous breathing.
