Abstract
BACKGROUND Neurosurgical patients represent a high-risk population for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). A lower intraoperative driving pressure (DP) is related to a reduction in postoperative pulmonary complications. We hypothesized that driving pressure-guided ventilation during supratentorial craniotomy might lead to a more homogeneous gas distribution in the lung postoperatively. METHODS This was a randomized trial conducted between June 2020 and July 2021 at Beijing Tiantan Hospital. Fifty-three patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy were randomly divided into the titration group or control group at a ratio of 1 to 1. The control group received 5 cmH2O PEEP, and the titration group received individualized PEEP targeting the lowest DP. The primary outcome was the global inhomogeneity index (GI) immediately after extubation obtained by electrical impedance tomography (EIT). The secondary outcomes were lung ultrasonography scores (LUSs), respiratory system compliance, the ratio of the partial pressure of arterial oxygen to the fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) and PPCs within 3 days postoperatively. RESULTS Fifty-one patients were included in the analysis. The median (IQR [range]) DP in the titration group versus the control group was 10 (9-12 [7-13]) cmH2O vs. 11 (10-12 [7-13]) cmH2O, respectively (P = 0.040). The GI tract did not differ between groups immediately after extubation (P = 0.080). The LUSS was significantly lower in the titration group than in the control group immediately after tracheal extubation (1 [0-3] vs. 3 [1-6], P = 0.045). The compliance in the titration group was higher than that in the control group at 1 h after intubation (48 [42-54] vs. 41 [37-46] ml·cmH2O-1, P = 0.011) and at the end of surgery (46 [42-51] vs. 41 [37-44] ml·cmH2O-1, P = 0.029). The PaO2/FiO2 ratio was not significantly different between groups in terms of the ventilation protocol (P = 0.117). At the 3-day follow-up, no postoperative pulmonary complications occurred in either group. CONCLUSIONS Driving pressure-guided ventilation during supratentorial craniotomy did not contribute to postoperative homogeneous aeration, but it may lead to improved respiratory compliance and lower lung ultrasonography scores.

Abstract
Clearance of secretions remains a challenge in ventilated patients. Despite high-frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) showing benefits in patients with cystic fibrosis and neuromuscular disorders, very little is known about its effects on other patient categories. Therefore, we designed a physiological pilot study investigating the effects on lung aeration and gas exchange of short HFPV cycles in tracheostomized patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) was recorded at baseline (T0) by a belt wrapped around the patient's chest, followed by the HFPV cycle lasting 10 min. EIT data was collected again after the HFPV cycle (T1) as well as after 1 h (T2) and 3 h (T3) from T0. Variation from baseline of end-expiratory lung impedance (∆EELI), tidal variation (TIV) and global inhomogeneity index (GI) were computed. Arterial blood was also taken for gas analysis. HFPV cycle significantly improved the ∆EELI at T1, T2 and T3 when compared to baseline (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). The ratio between arterial partial pressure and inspired fraction of oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) also increased after the treatment (p < 0.001 for all comparison) whereas TIV (p = 0.132) and GI (p = 0.114) remained unchanged. Short cycles of HFPV superimposed to mechanical ventilation promoted alveolar recruitment, as suggested by improved ∆EELI, and improved oxygenation in tracheostomized patients with high load of secretion.Trial Registration Prospectively registered on www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05200507; dated 6th January 2022).

Abstract
To investigate whether driving pressure-guided ventilation could contribute to a more homogeneous distribution in the lung for gynecological laparoscopy. Chinese patients were randomized, after pneumoperitoneum, to receive either positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cm H2O (control group), or individualized PEEP producing the lowest driving pressure (titration group). Ventilation homogeneity is quantified as the global inhomogeneity (GI) index based on electrical impedance tomography, with a lower index implying more homogeneous ventilation. The perioperative arterial oxygenation index and respiratory system mechanics were also recorded. Blood samples were collected for lung injury biomarkers including interleukin-10, neutrophil elastase, and Clara Cell protein-16. A total of 48 patients were included for analysis. We observed a significant increase in the GI index immediately after tracheal extubation compared to preinduction in the control group (p = 0.040) but not in the titration group (p = 0.279). Furthermore, the GI index was obviously lower in the titration group than in the control group [0.390 (0.066) vs 0.460 (0.074), p = 0.0012]. The oxygenation index and respiratory compliance were significantly higher in the titration group than in the control group. No significant differences in biomarkers or hemodynamics were detected between the two groups. Driving pressure-guided PEEP led to more homogeneous ventilation, as well as improved gas exchange and respiratory compliance for patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopy.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04374162; first registration on 05/05/2020.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Current standards for conducting spirometry examinations recommend that the ventilation manoeuvres needed in pulmonary function testing are carried out repeatedly during sessions. Chest electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can determine the presence of ventilation heterogeneity during such manoeuvres, which increases the information content derived from such examinations. The aim of this study was to characterise regional lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) during repetitive forced full ventilation manoeuvres. Regional lung function measures derived from these manoeuvres were compared with quiet tidal breathing. APPROACH Sixty hospitalised patients were examined during up to three repeated ventilation manoeuvres. Acceptable spirometry manoeuvres were performed and EIT recordings suitable for analysis obtained in 53 patients (12 women, 41 men; age: 68 ± 12 years (mean ± SD)). Pixel values of tidal volume, forced full inspiratory and expiratory volume in 1 s, and forced inspiratory and expiratory vital capacity were calculated from the EIT data. Spatial ventilation heterogeneity was assessed using the coefficient of variation, global inhomogeneity index, and centres and regional fractions of ventilation. Temporal inhomogeneity was determined by examining the pixel expiration times needed to exhale 50% and 75% of regional forced vital capacity. MAIN RESULTS All EIT-derived measures of regional lung function showed reproducible results during repetitive examinations. Parameters of spatial heterogeneity obtained from quiet tidal breathing were comparable with the measures derived from the forced manoeuvres. SIGNIFICANCE Measures of spatial and temporal ventilation heterogeneity obtained in COPD patients by EIT provide comparable findings during repeated examinations within one testing session. Quiet tidal breathing generates similar information on ventilation heterogeneity as forced manoeuvres that demand a high amount of patient effort.

Abstract
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a functional radiation-free imaging technique that measures regional lung ventilation distribution by calculating the impedance changes in the corresponding regions. The aim of the present review was to summarize the current literature concerning the methodologies and applications of EIT in lung diseases with flow limitation and hyperinflation. PubMed was searched up to May 2020 to identify studies investigating the use of EIT in patients with asthma, bronchiectasis, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cystic fibrosis. The extracted data included study design, EIT methodologies, interventions, validation and comparators, population characteristics, and key findings. Of the 44 included studies, seven were related to simulation, animal experimentation, or reconstruction algorithm development with evaluation on patients; 27 studies had the primary objective of validating EIT technique and measures including regional ventilation distribution, regional EIT-spirometry parameters, end-expiratory lung impedance, and regional time constants; and 10 studies had the primary objective of applying EIT to monitor the response to therapeutic interventions, including various ventilation supports, patient repositioning, and airway suctioning. In pediatric and adult patients, EIT has been successfully validated for assessing spatial and temporal ventilation distribution, measuring changes in lung volume and flow, and studying regional respiratory mechanics. EIT has also demonstrated potential as an alternative or supplement to well-established measurement modalities (e.g., conventional pulmonary function testing) to monitor the progression of obstructive lung diseases, although the existing literature lacks prediction values as references and lacks clinical outcome evidence.

Abstract
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can be titrated by electrical impedance tomography (EIT). The aim of the present study was to examine the performance of different EIT measures during PEEP trials with the aim of identifying "optimum" PEEP and to provide possible interpretations of largely diverging results. After recruitment (maximum plateau pressure 35 cmH2O), decremental PEEP trial with steps of 2 cmH2O and duration of 2 min per step was performed. Ventilation gain and loss, the global inhomogeneity (GI) index, trend of end-expiratory lung impedance (EELI) and regional compliance (Creg) for estimation of overdistension and collapse were calculated. Largely diverging results of PEEP selection among the measures were defined as differences ≥ 4 PEEP steps (i.e. ≥ 8 cmH2O). In 30 ARDS patients we examined so far, 3 patients showed significant differences in PEEP selections. Overdistension and collapse estimation based on Creg tended to select lower PEEP while the GI index and EELI trend suggested higher PEEP settings. Regional inspiration times were heterogeneous indicating that the assumption of a uniform driving pressure in the calculation of Creg may not be valid. Judging by the predominant ventilation distribution in the most dependent regions, these patients were non-recruitable with the applied recruitment method or pressure levels. The existence of differences in the recommended PEEP among the analyzed EIT measures might be an indicator of non-recruitable lungs and heterogeneous airway resistances. In these extreme cases, the largely diverging results may prompt the attending clinician to develop individual ventilation strategies.Clinical Trial Registration Registration number NCT03112512, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ Registered 13 April 2017.

Abstract
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is able to detect rapid lung volume changes during breathing. The aim of our observational study was to characterise the heterogeneity of regional ventilation distribution in lung-healthy adults by EIT and to detect the possible impact of tobacco consumption. A total of 219 nonsmokers, asymptomatic ex-smokers and current smokers were examined during forced full expiration using EIT. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC were determined in 836 EIT image pixels for the analysis of spatial and temporal ventilation distribution. Coefficients of variation (CVs) of these pixel values were calculated. Histograms and medians of FEV1/FVCEIT and times required to exhale 50%, 75%, 90% of FVCEIT (t50, t75 and t90) were generated. CV of FEV1/FVCEIT distinguished among all groups (mean±sd: nonsmokers 0.43±0.05, ex-smokers 0.52±0.09, smokers 0.62±0.16). Histograms of FEV1/FVCEIT differentiated between nonsmokers and the other groups (p<0.0001). Medians of t50, t75 and t90 showed the lowest values in nonsmokers. Median t90 separated all groups (median (interquartile range): nonsmokers 0.82 (0.67-1.15), ex-smokers 1.41 (1.03-2.21), smokers 1.91 (1.33-3.53)). EIT detects regional ventilation heterogeneity during forced expiration in healthy nonsmokers and its increase in asymptomatic former and current smokers. Therefore, EIT-derived reference values should only be collected from nonsmoking lung-healthy adults.
