Influence of Fluid Challenge on End-Expiratory Lung Impedance in Mechanically Ventilated Patients Monitored With Electrical Impedance Tomography

• Status: Completed
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 25 (actual)
• Sponsor: University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The study investigates the influence of a clinically indicated fluid challenge on end-expiratory lung impedance, assessed by electrical impedance tomography (EIT). EIT data will be collected before, during and after infusion of 500 ml of crystalloid solution in mechanically ventilated patients on an operative intensive care unit.

Conditions

• Respiratory Failure
• Circulatory Failure
• Fluid Responsiveness
• Fluid Overload

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Fluid Challenge	Infusion of a standardized amount of crystalloid solution (500 ml) to assess fluid responsiveness by means of changes in cardiac output, assessed by transpulmonary thermodilution.
