Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Age above six years; Either gender
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Individuals with cardiac pacemaker or other implanted electronic device; Individuals with skin lesions in the thoracic area where the electrical impedance tomography belt will be placed; Individuals with impaired functional capacity (NYHA level IV), which would suffer with fatigue and discomfort during the tests; Pregnancy; Individuals who refused the participation on the study by the means of the non-signature on the consent form (and its equivalent with individuals under the age of 18 years and their parents)
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Agreement between the estimated tidal volume (ml) using electrical impedance tomography and the tidal volume obtained using a flow sensor (ml), with mean bias under 50ml | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Agreement between the estimate from tidal volume calibrated by pneumotachograph at spontaneous breathing (ml) and of the tidal volume estimated at different pressure levels (ml), with mean bias under 50ml;Agreement between the estimated tidal volume (ml) calibrated in sitting position and the same parameter obtained in supine position, with mean bias lower than 50ml;Comparison between tidal volume estimate (ml) based on electrical impedance tomography signals and an algorithm that estimates tidal volume (ml) adding anthropometric information | — |
