Article Synopsis
- Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a safe, noninvasive tool that helps monitor how air is distributed in the lungs in real-time without radiation.
- The study focused on pediatric COVID-19 patients to assess ventilation distribution via EIT and compared these findings to results from traditional chest imaging like computed tomography (TCT) and radiographs.
- Results showed that while EIT revealed differences in lung ventilation compatible with imaging results, further research with larger patient groups is necessary to confirm EIT's effectiveness and reduce the need for repeated radiation exams in children.
