Interventions
Group 1: pediatric patients with a pleural effusion under monitoring with electrical impeance tomography (EIT) to asses lung ventilation
Sponsors
Klinik für Anästhesiologie und Operative Intensivmedizin, Uniklinikum Köln
Eligibility
Sex/Gender
All
Age
No minimum to 10 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Children =3.5kG = 10kg • Admission to the pediatric Cardiac Surgical Intensive Care Unit • Evidence of pleural effusion (unilateral / bilateral) • No contraindications for applying the EIT belt • Patients receive EIT monitoring to monitor their ventilation (monitoring of ventilator weaning or monitoring noninvasive ventilation)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • No pleural effusion detectable • Immobilization (e.g. unstable spinal trauma / ribs / Sternal fractures, pelvic fractures, etc.) which make the use of a belt for EIT monitoring unfeasible • Patients with a pacemaker, cardioverter (ICD) or others electrical pacemakers, which are powered by the alternating current of the EIT measurement could be impaired in its function. • Patients with skin lesions in the area where the EIT belt is located. • Pleural effusion that cannot be punctured
