Eligibility
Sex/Gender
All
Age
18 Years to No maximum
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Admission to an intensive care unit • Evidence of pleural effusion (unilateral / bilateral) • No contraindications for the usage of the EIT belt • Patients receive EIT monitoring to monitor their ventilation, monitor their weaning process or monitor non-invasive ventilation.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • No pleural effusion detectable • Immobilization (e.g. unstable spinal trauma / ribs / Sternal fractures, pelvic fractures, etc.) prohibit the use of a belt for the EIT measurement • Patients with a pacemaker, cardioverter (ICD) or other 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 of the EIT belt location.
