Summary

determine the effect of prone positioning on ventilation and perfusion distribution in adults with acute respiratory distress syndrome by electrical impedance tomography

Detailed description

By intravenous injection of a small amount of normal saline, electrical impedance tomography enables evaluation of the pulmonary blood flow. EIT might be helpful in establishing the hypoxemia etiology at bedside via combining regional ventilation and perfusion information. The objective of this study was to describe the physiological effects of prone position on respiratory mechanics, ventilation and pulmonary perfusion in patients with ARDS.
