3.6. FraME raTE
The dynamic EIT image continuously shows relative impedance changes. The
high temporal resolution of this method allows for very precise analysis of
individual phases during inspiration and expiration as well as the detection of
rapid changes in intrathoracic processes. This is useful for assessing regional
ventilation even at high respiratory rates, such as HF ventilation, as well as for
measuring higher-frequency processes, such as cardiac activity. In the ›EIT
Settings‹ menu, you can adjust the frame rate, i.e. the number of EIT images
generated per second.
By default, the frame rate is 20 Hz
Adjustable frame rate = 10 – 50 Hz (pictures /s)
4. Clinical application
Chest EIT opens up new possibilities for everyday clinical practice in addition
to already established technologies. For more than 10 years, the significance
of EIT has been demonstrated by numerous clinical studies. In this regard,
after years of research the next logical step is the transfer of EIT into the
clinical routine. EIT provides new and additive information and allows the
personalization of ventilation.
