Development of electrode systems for electrical impedance tomography in pediatrics
https://doi.org/10.17586/0021-3454-2026-69-1-77-89
Abstract
Results of the development and manufacture of three types of neonatal electrode systems for electrical impedance tomography in pediatrics, adapted to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of newborns, are presented. The proposed systems differ in the materials of the electrodes and their design. The results of experimental studies of normal respiration (eupnea), using a simplified physical model of the mediastinum of newborns, carried out on an experimental stand for electrical impedance tomography with an EI tomograph are presented. The results of the assessment of the operability of manufactured products confirm the prospects of their use for monitoring global and regional air filling parameters in a given section, including the monitoring of the respiratory function of newborns.
