The Role of Chest Electrical Impedance Tomography in the Pediatric Ventilator Weaning

Brazil83 participantsStarted 2019-09-26

Plain-language summary

To correlate the data obtained by Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) during the spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) on a T-piece, in children, with failure in the trial and Extubation failure. Observe if the EIT monitoring will be able to detect the children that will fail earlier than the SBT performed alone. Method: A cross-sectional, prospective study to explore the potential benefits of monitoring with EIT during weaning.
