Physiol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a condition of pulmonary surfactant insufficiency in the premature newborn. As such, artificial pulmonary surfactant administration is a key treatment. Despite continued improvement in the clinical outcomes of RDS, there are currently no established bedside tools to monitor whether pulmonary surfactant is effectively instilled throughout the lungs. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an emerging technique in which physiological functions are monitored on the basis of temporal changes in conductivity of different tissues in the body. In this preliminary study, we aimed to assess how EIT tidal volumes correlate with ventilator tidal volumes in an RDS animal model, namely untreated, surfactant-treated, and normal control rabbit pups. Tidal volumes were measured simultaneously on an EIT system and a mechanical ventilator and compared at different peak inspiratory pressures. The linear correlation between tidal volumes measured by EIT and by ventilator had an <jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> of 0.71, 0.76 and 0.86 in the untreated, surfactant-treated, and normal control groups, respectively. Bland\u2013Altman analysis showed a good correlation between the measurements obtained with these two modalities. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) between ventilator tidal volume and EIT tidal volume were 0.83, 0.87, and 0.93 (all <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001) in the untreated, surfactant-treated, and normal control groups, respectively, indicating that the higher ICC value, the better inflated status of the lung. In conclusion, we demonstrated that EIT tidal volume correlated with ventilator tidal volume. ICC was higher in the surfactant treated group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fphys.2022.814320","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,20]],"date-time":"2022-04-20T06:54:30Z","timestamp":1650437670000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Surfactant Treatment Shows Higher Correlation Between Ventilator and EIT Tidal Volumes in an RDS Animal Model"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yoon Zi","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hee Yoon","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong Sung","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chae Young","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Young Joo","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sung Hoon","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2494","DOI":"10.1109\/TBME.2017.2728323","article-title":"Electrical Impedance Tomography: Tissue Properties to Image Measures","volume":"64","author":"Adler","year":"2017","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
