Figure 1

Optimization of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) using electrical impedance tomography. Decreasing trend in end-expiratory lung impedance (EELI) indicates derecruitment while an increase of EELI indicates recruitment. Horizontal tracing indicates stable end-expiratory lung volume and corresponds with the optimal PEEP. Reproduced with permission7.
