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