There is particular interest in using EIT for monitoring in critically ill neonates and young children with respiratory failure. Previous studies have focused only on short-term monitoring in small populations. The feasibility and safety of prolonged monitoring with EIT in neonates and young children have not been demonstrated yet.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To evaluate the feasibility and safety of long-term EIT monitoring in a routine clinical setting and to describe changes in ventilation distribution and homogeneity over time and with positioning in a multicenter cohort of neonates and young children with respiratory failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At four European University hospitals, we conducted an observational study (NCT02962505) on 200 patients with postmenstrual ages (PMA) between 25 weeks and 36 months, at risk for or suffering from respiratory failure. Continuous EIT data were obtained using a novel textile 32-electrode interface and recorded at 48 images\/s for up to 72 hours. Clinicians were blinded to EIT images during the recording. EIT parameters and the effects of body position on ventilation distribution were analyzed offline.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The average duration of EIT measurements was 53\u2009\u00b1\u200920 hours. Skin contact impedance was sufficient to allow image reconstruction for valid ventilation analysis during a median of 92% (interquartile range, 77\u201398%) of examination time. EIT examinations were well tolerated, with minor skin irritations (temporary redness or imprint) occurring in 10% of patients and no moderate or severe adverse events. Higher ventilation amplitude was found in the dorsal and right lung areas when compared with the ventral and left regions, respectively. Prone positioning resulted in an increase in the ventilation-related EIT signal in the dorsal hemithorax, indicating increased ventilation of the dorsal lung areas. Lateral positioning led to a redistribution of ventilation toward the dependent lung in preterm infants and to the nondependent lung in patients with PMA\u2009&amp;gt;\u200937 weeks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>EIT allows continuous long-term monitoring of regional lung function in neonates and young children for up to 72 hours with minimal adverse effects.
