    Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a noninvasive tool that provides real-time regional information on lung aeration and ventilation.

  • 2

    EIT can guide PEEP adjustments in ARDS patients, potentially improving respiratory system compliance and reducing mechanical power.

  • 3

    EIT helps identify patients likely to benefit from prone positioning by monitoring regional ventilation and perfusion changes.

  • 4

    During assisted ventilation, EIT can quantify alveolar collapse and overdistension, aiding in the selection of optimal PEEP.

  • 5

    EIT may assist in monitoring tidal volumes during noninvasive respiratory support, although it provides impedance changes in arbitrary units.
