Electric Impedance Tomography Before and After Dilatative Tracheotomy

Completed

• Conditions: ICU Patients; Tracheotomy Required
• Interventions: Other: EIT belt

• Registration Number: NCT02161328
• Lead Sponsor: Stefan Kluge

Brief Summary

The changes of local pulmonary ventilation should be registered with an electric impedance tomography (EIT) before and after a dilatative tracheotomy. The hypothesis is that the EIT cannot show changes in local ventilation due to the tracheotomy.
