Continuous non-invasive monitoring of tidal volumes by measurement of tidal impedance in neonatal piglets.
BACKGROUND: Electrical Impedance measurements can be used to estimate the content of intra-thoracic air and thereby give information on pulmonary ventilation. Conventional Impedance measurements mainly indicate relative changes, but no information concerning air-volume is given. The study was perfor...
