Summary

This study uses a non-invasive imaging technique called electrical impedance tomography to watch how air moves through the lungs of children with acute respiratory failure in the pediatric ICU. Researchers will observe how changes in ventilator settings, body position, suctioning, and breathing therapy affect ventilation. The goal is to better understand these effects in children, since very little data exists for this age group.
