Abstract

Electrical impedance tomography is no longer a new technology, but its clinical use at the bedside is still in its primary stage. Global research has drastically increased since its commercial availability, and this has slowly begun to make its way into routine clinical bedside use in some areas of the world. This paper will provide the bedside clinician an introduction to the technology, how it is used, and the most common applications found in the literature.

  • electrical impedance tomography
  • bedside monitoring
  • mechanical ventilation
