Breathing new life: tailored ventilation for ARDS patients

This study investigates whether electrical impedance tomography (EIT) — a non-invasive imaging technique — can help doctors choose the best ventilator settings for each patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Researchers will compare different methods of setting the ventilator and measure how well the lungs are ventilated and perfused. The goal is to understand which approach works best for individual patients, potentially leading to more personalized and effective breathing support.
