Baseline:
Sets the reference for the next breath or sequence of breaths (changes in
impedance). The virtual baseline EIT image in the different views is black.
ΔEELI = Changes of EELI:
Changes in end-expiratory lung impedance in the EIT sensitivity region.
Absolute impedance measurements cannot be directly related to end-
expiratory lung impedance. Nevertheless, ∆EELI is strongly correlated to
changes in the end-expiratory lung volume within the EIT sensitivity region.
The PulmoVista
®
500 parameter ∆EELI expresses regional end-expiratory
lung impedance variations compared to the global tidal variation of Cursor
Ref.
EELv = end-expiratory lung volume:
EELV is often used interchangeably with the term FRC. However, mechanically
ventilated patients exhale against PEEP and not against ambient pressure.
Therefore, physicians use the term EELV instead of FRC.
