Ventilation Integrated Tomography (VIT) is the world‘s first fully integrated EIT system in an intensive care ventilator.
The non-invasive pulmonary monitoring of the elisa 800VIT visualizes for the first time ventilation-related complications and allows for direct therapy at the intensive care ventilator.
As a result, ventilation becomes transparent as well as directly controllable. The introduction of this innovative technology marks a new chapter in intensive care ventilation.
The first-generation EIT technologies were characterized by electrode belts, reference electrodes, and limited signal quality due to patient positioning.
Modern high-resolution electrodes can now be integrated in a textile belt, with position-angle sensors detecting the position of the patient. Ventilation can consequently be monitored in real time in comprehensive signal quality, even with the patient in prone position for optimized ventilation therapy.
High resolution and individual organ contours result in a remarkable image display and allow for intuitive recognition of the actual situation.
