Summary

This study tests whether a special imaging technique called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can safely measure blood flow and air distribution in the lungs of children with acute respiratory failure. Twenty children under 12 who are on breathing machines will receive a small injection of salt water during EIT monitoring. The goal is to see if this method works and is safe for children.

What this could mean

Active substance: sodium chloride or sodium bicarbonate injection
What this could lead to: If successful, this could lead to a safer way to monitor lung function in critically ill children.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early pilot study with only 20 children. The method may not work well or could cause side effects like high sodium levels.
