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
• 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.
