Pneumothorax in a preterm infant monitored by electrical impedance tomography: a case report

M Miedema et al. Neonatology. 2011.

Abstract

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a noninvasive bedside tool for monitoring regional changes in ventilation. We report, for the first time, the EIT images of a ventilated preterm infant with a unilateral pneumothorax, showing a loss of regional ventilation in the affected lung during both high-frequency oscillation and spontaneous ventilation.
