Non-Invasive Measurements of Changes in Pulmonary Artery Pressure in Intensive Care Unit Patients Using Electrical Impedance Tomography - A Feasibility Study
Sponsor: Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern
Summary
To assess whether changes in electrical impedance - measured using an electrical impedance tomography (EIT) chest belt - can be used to derive changes in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) in critically ill patients when compared to invasive gold-standard PAP measured using pulmonary artery catheter (PAC).

Interventions
Electrical impedance tomography
In addition to routine critical care with a pulmonary artery catheter already in place (PAC), an electrical impedance tomography (EIT) belt will be placed in patients enrolled in this study. Data will be analyzed offline and clinical trajectory and/or decisions will not be impacted by this additional monitoring. EIT is a non-invasive, safe, and radiation-free medical imaging modality.
