AbstractMechanical ventilation strategies in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (pARDS) continue to advance. Optimizing positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) and ventilation to recruitable lung can be difficult to clinically achieve. This is in part, due to disease evolution, unpredictable changes in lung compliance, and the inability to assess regional tidal volumes in real time at the bedside. Here we report the utilization of thoracic electrical impedance tomography to guide daily PEEP settings and recruitment maneuvers in a child with pARDS.
