Abstract
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has the potential to become a bedside tool for monitoring and guiding ventilator therapy, as well as tracking the development of chronic lung diseases. It is a radiation free imaging method to visualize re-gional changes in conductivity i.e. changes in biological tissue such as ventilation or perfusion. Although there are several applications to use EIT in a clinical context (breast-EIT, brain-EIT, bladder-EIT) this session is limited to the current state of ventilation monitoring and its future trends in patient monitoring and research. Thorax EIT or functional lung imaging is probably the most prominent application of EIT because it reveals real-time information on the local distribution of lung aeration. A first presentation will reveal the current status in patient monitoring with focus on recent studies on ICUs. Then a series of talks will point out current limitations of the technology and potential approaches to overcome those. To finally provide better treatment of pulmonary diseases to patients EIT is currently the best imaging option, which is further em-phasized in presentations on the combination of EIT with high frequency ventilation and spontaneous breathing.
