Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) Monitoring of Regional Ventilation During Pediatric Laparoscopy
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) Monitoring of Regional Ventilation During Pediatric Laparoscopy: an Observational Study
Vittore Buzzi Children's Hospital
20 participants
May 1, 2023
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this prospective, observational study is to describe EIT measurements at different time points during the perioperative period in healthy children undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The objective is to evaluate the impact of general anesthesia and laparoscopy on regional pulmonary ventilation visualized at EIT during the perioperative period.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- ASA Status I and II
- elective or urgent laparoscopic procedures (e.g., appendectomy, cholecystectomy, varicocelectomy)
Exclusion Criteria11
- Lack of parental consent
- ASA status III-IV
- Presence of peritonitis or other abdominal inflammatory process that could potentially interfere with spontaneous breathing ventilation
- Need for immediate resuscitation maneuvers
- Severe respiratory illness in the previous 4-6 weeks
- Pre-existing chronic pulmonary conditions
- Concomitant acute pulmonary conditions (e.g. pneumonia, pleural effusion)
- Cardiac arrest
- Skeletal deformities (e.g. rib cage malformations or scoliosis), neuromuscular diseases or cardiac conditions affecting respiratory mechanics
- BMI \> 30
- Presence of implantable devices not compatible with EIT (such as pacemakers and implantable defibrillators)
