Standard versus individualised positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) compared by electrical impedance tomography in neurocritical care: a pilot prospective single centre study
Adjusting PEEP to values derived from PEEP titration guided by EIT does not provide any significant changes in ventilation homogeneity as assessed by EIT to ventilated patients with healthy lungs, provided the change in PEEP does not exceed three cmH<sub>2</sub>O. Thus, a reduction in PEEP determined through PEEP titration that is not greater than 3 cmH<sub>2</sub>O from an initial value of 5 cmH<sub>2</sub>O is unlikely to affect ventilation homogeneity significantly, which could benefit mechanically ventilated neurocritical care patients.
