Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration is crucial for improving oxygenation and preventing ventilator-induced lung injury in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) offers real-time, bedside monitoring of lung ventilation distribution, potentially guiding individualized PEEP settings.
