#415 - Finding Optimal PEEP at the Bedside With Electrical Impedance Tomography?
from The Incubator · host Ben Courchia & Daphna Yasova Barbeau
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jessica Shui, attending neonatologist at Mass General for Children, to explore the game-changing potential of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) in the NICU. We dive into her recent paper in the Journal of Perinatology on using non-invasive EIT to identify optimal PEEP in infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Dr. Shui explains how this real-time, radiation-free technology allows clinicians to visualize lung mechanics, dynamically titrate ventilator settings, and confidently reduce PEEP without risking atelectasis. Join us as we discuss moving beyond blind adjustments and stepping into the future of personalized neonatal respiratory care.
