Interventions
Detecting asymmetric lung disease like atelectasis or pneumothorax with electrical impedance tomography (EIT)
The EIT system will be placed at the subject's bedside to collect EIT measurements: Ventilation distribution%, changes in regional aeration in arbitrary units (AU), dependent and non-dependent silent spaces. A data acquisition cart will also be placed at the subject's bedside to collect hemodynamic and respiratory parameters measurements including: Heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), respiratory rate (RR), fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), transcutaneous carbon dioxide (TcCO2), and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) via bedside monitoring devices. The LuMon belts for neonates are disposable single-patient use belts that are adhesive-free. EIT measurements and data will be collected on each timeperiods (t1 and t2) for approximately 15-30 minutes on invasive or non-invasive ventilatory support.
