  Purpose

The purpose of this study in patients suffering from acute lung injury is to determine whether positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) setting guided by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) influences pulmonary gas exchange, lung mechanics, ventilation/perfusion matching and homogeneity of regional ventilation when compared to other PEEP setting strategies such as the open lung concept or the ARDSnet protocol.
