Is EIT-guided positive end-expiratory pressure titration for optimizing PEEP in ARDS the white elephant in the room? A systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis
Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing(2024)
Abstract
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a novel real-time lung imaging technology for personalized ventilation adjustments, indicating promising results in animals and humans. The present study aimed to assess its clinical utility for improved ventilation and oxygenation compared to traditional protocols. Comprehensive electronic database screening was done until 30th November, 2023. Randomized controlled trials, controlled clinical trials, comparative cohort studies, and assessments of EIT-guided PEEP titration and conventional methods in adult ARDS patients regarding outcome, ventilatory parameters, and P/F ratio were included. Our search retrieved five controlled cohort studies and two RCTs with 515 patients and overall reduced risk of mortality [RR = 0.68; 95
