UNLABELLED: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, radiation-free tool to monitor regional changes in ventilation. This report describes, for the first time, that unilateral atelectasis in an extremely low birth weight infant results in a loss of regional ventilation measured by EIT in the affected lung. CONCLUSION: EIT is currently the most promising technique to monitor regional lung aeration continuously at the bedside in this vulnerable population.
