Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive and continuous advanced respiratory monitoring tool for assessing regional lung ventilation distribution and aeration [1]. It generates images based on impedance differences in the intrathoracic area. Recently, its application has extended to monitoring of preterm neonates admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), facilitated by the availability of EIT belts in small sizes, accommodating thorax circumferences ranging from 19 to 40 cm.@en
