Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) modules are non-invasive, radiation-free medical devices that generate regional information about changes in ventilation by measuring electrical impedance data from electrodes placed around the thorax , producing dynamic images, ventilation maps, and real-time waveforms of impedance, flow, pressure and volume to assist healthcare professionals in assessing patient ventilation . These devices provide additional information to optimise mechanical ventilation in adult, paediatric and neonatal patients under mechanical ventilation in healthcare facilities .
