The purpose of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of lung imaging using 3D electrical impedance tomography (EIT) during spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) in patients with acute hypoxic respiratory failure. EIT is a noninvasive, nonionizing, real-time functional imaging technique, suitable for bedside monitoring in critically ill patients. EIT data were collected in 24 mechanically ventilated patients immediately preceding and during a SBT on two rows of 16 electrodes using a simultaneous multicurrent source EIT system for 3D imaging.

- The study aimed to assess how a week of extra sleep at home affects the circadian rhythms of adolescents who usually don't get enough sleep.
- Twenty-six participants experienced two conditions: their regular sleep schedule and an extended sleep schedule where they got at least an extra hour of sleep.
- Results showed that sleep duration increased significantly with the extended sleep but did not affect melatonin levels, suggesting the possibility of better circadian alignment that could be enhanced with additional strategies like morning light exposure.
Objectives: This study seeks to determine the overall and post-intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) for children with tracheostomies and chronic mechanical ventilation. We hypothesized that medical and social factors would be associated with prolonged LOS.
Study Design: This single-center retrospective review included children who were discharged after initiation of chronic ventilation via tracheostomy over an 8-year period (2015-2022).
Background: It can be challenging for children to cooperate for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam. General anesthesia is often used to ensure a high-quality image. When determining the need for general anesthesia, many institutions use a simple age cutoff.
