Association Between EIT and CT During PEEP Titration in Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure

Exclusion Criteria

• •The patient cannot undergo a lung CT and/or EIT as judged by the attending physician (for instance, transport to the radiology unit may be considered too risky if the patient is extremely severe, or using EIT may be contraindicated because of the presence of a pacemaker)
• •Pregnancy (as this condition alters the respiratory physiology)
