New registry aims to see if lung imaging tool helps ICU patients
NCT ID NCT07184580
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will create a registry of up to 1,000 ICU patients who are monitored with a non-invasive lung imaging device called Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). The device helps doctors see how well the lungs are working and guide breathing support. Researchers will track outcomes like survival and days off the ventilator to see if using EIT improves care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could help doctors better understand how to use EIT to personalize ventilation and improve outcomes for ICU patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test if EIT saves lives. Results may take years and might not change current practice.

Who is studied
All critical care patients for whom clinicians estimated the need for EIT measurements could be included, except pediatric patients under 12 years of age, as the belt used for this device is not designed for children.
