Clinical trials: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)
Blood Loss
Blood Loss Measurement Using Electrical Impedance Tomography
The project focuses on the possibility of detecting blood loss using electrical impedance tomography. Based on previous animal experiments, it was found that the bolus of saline significantly affects the signal of chest…

Stroke
Applicability of Techniques of Lung Expansion
The survival of patients with lesions in the central nervous system is usually accompanied by physical and mental sequelae. These impairments favor the prolonged restriction to the bed, which may contribute with changes in…

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
EIT Assessment of Overdistension in ARDS Patients in Prone Position
Mechanical ventilation in ARDS requires protective ventilation with low VT and PEEP. PEEP titration can improve lung recruitment in the dependent lung but with a risk of overdistension in the non-dependant lung.
- Trial name
- DISTIE-DV (NCT06536543)
- Testing
- Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom (ARDS) treated with Prone Position (PP) equipped with Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)
- Where
- 2 sites in France
- Volunteers
- 20 people

Atelectasis
Impact of High Versus Lower Oxygen Fraction Prior to Extubation on Postoperative Pulmonary Atelectasis Measured With EIT
Patients undergoing general anesthesia require mechanical ventilation (artificial delivery of air and oxygen to their lungs). It is well known that during mechanical ventilation, so-called atelectasis formation occurs.
- Trial name
- RESPIRA-EIT (NCT06538740)
- Testing
- Ventilating the patient with lower (40 or 70%) oxygen concentration during the wash out phase, before extubation
- Where
- United States
- Volunteers
- 48 people

- Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
ARDS
Impact of Belt Position on the Results of PEEP Titration by EIT During ARDS
ARDS is a frequent reason for hospitalization in intensive care. In order to improve its management, doctors seek to limit the mechanical ventilation-induced injuries (VILI) that can occur.
- Trial name

Effect of Breast Tissue on EIT Lung Monitoring
Effect of Breast Size on the Electrical Impedance Tomography Measurement
Twenty-two healthy female volunteers were monitored using electrical impedance tomogprahy (EIT) in two different situations. First, with electrode belt placed over the breast tissue and second, with the electrode belt under the…
