The Associations Between EIT and Clinical Measures During Standard of Care Procedures in Patients With Respiratory Disease: A Preliminary Study
University of Colorado, Denver
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Genesis Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) imaging system for use in pediatric respiratory disease populations including neuromuscular and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, as well as in age and height matched controls. The EIT does not use radiation, and is read through electrodes.
Description
The purpose of this study is to evaluate EIT for use in pediatric respiratory disease populations including neuromuscular and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, as well as in age and height matched controls. Researchers will use EIT to determine changes in regional ventilation with pulmonary interventions including airway clearance and invasive and noninvasive ventilation in a pediatric respiratory disease population.
