End expiratory lung impedance change during anesthesia induction. Evaluation of End-Expiratory Lung Impedance (EELI, continuous blue line) and End Inspiratory Lung Impedance (EILI, blue dots, non-continuous blue line) during different moments of general anesthesia induction in a 65 years old patient undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Note decrease of TV and EELV during anesthesia induction and increase in EELV during mask ventilation with PEEP. Finally, stable ventilation and EELV were reached after intubation and start of control mechanical ventilation
