Using a lung-monitoring belt in the intensive care unit
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how an EIT belt (a special belt that tracks how well your lungs are working) is used in the intensive care unit. It helps doctors see how the lungs are doing in real time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be older than 12 years old.
- You must be using an EIT monitoring belt in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You must not have said you don't want to take part.

This study tests whether the position of a belt around the chest changes how doctors find the best air pressure setting for a breathing tube. It uses a special imaging method to look at the lungs, which may help improve oxygen levels in people with severe lung failure.
This trial tests whether using a special imaging technique (electrical impedance tomography) to set the breathing machine's pressure can improve oxygen levels and lung function in patients with moderate to severe ARDS, a serious lung condition.
This trial uses a special lung imaging belt (EIT) to see if the lungs are over-inflated in patients with severe breathing problems (ARDS) when they lie on their stomach. It aims to help doctors adjust ventilator settings for better lung protection.
This study uses a special imaging belt (EIT) to check if the lungs are being overstretched when patients with severe breathing problems are placed on their stomach (prone position). It may help doctors adjust breathing machines more safely.
This study tests whether a special imaging technique called EIT (electrical impedance tomography) combined with a safe contrast injection can measure blood flow in the lungs of patients on breathing machines. If it works, it could help doctors better manage critically ill patients.
This trial tests whether a special chest sensor (called electrical impedance tomography, or EIT) can help doctors distribute breathing support more effectively in children with sudden breathing failure. It may help optimize ventilation while the child is being monitored in intensive care or during anesthesia.
