The Incubator - Finding Optimal PEEP at the Bedside With Electrical Impedance Tomography?
The Incubator Channel · 16 Mar 2026 · 37 min
Summary
A podcast discussion with neonatologist Dr Jessica Shui about her Journal of Perinatology paper on using electrical impedance tomography to identify optimal PEEP in infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia. It covers how this real-time, radiation-free technique visualises lung mechanics to guide ventilator titration and PEEP reduction without causing atelectasis.
