Electrical impedance tomography for PEEP titration in ARDS patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: To assess the efficacy of electrical impedance tomography (EIT)-guided positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration in improving outcomes for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Randomized controlled trials and observational studies with a control group comparing EIT-guided PEEP titration to other strategies were included. Endpoints analysed included mortality, days of mechanical ventilation (MV), intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), weaning success rate, barotrauma, driving pressure (∆P), mechanical power (MP), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and adverse events. Pooled results were prese
