Summary

In this study, electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a noninvasive and nonradiative technology, is applied to guide the accurate respiratory rehabilitation of pneumonia. On the basis of traditional physical assessment, physiotherapists introduce EIT as an auxiliary imaging technology into the field of rehabilitation, which can increase the accurate understanding of ventilation conditions of local lung lesions, so as to optimize physical therapy methods, which is conducive to the improvement of patients' symptoms, the improvement of lesions, and the improvement of patients' quality of life.

Detailed description

According to the results of traditional assessment, physiotherapists and clinicians discussed the EIT results to give respiratory rehabilitation chest physiotherapy, and adjusted the treatment according to the results of T2 and T3 review. EIT has dynamic monitoring charts and communicates with patients about the changes after treatment.

Conditions

• Community Acquired Pneumonia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Electrical Impedance Tomography	According to the results of traditional assessment, physiotherapists and clinicians discussed the EIT results to give respiratory rehabilitation chest physiotherapy
BEHAVIORAL	chest physiotherapy	Conventional assessment by physical therapists was followed by respiratory rehabilitation chest physiotherapy.Chest physical therapy for respiratory rehabilitation includes postural drainage, cough technique, forced expiratory technique, positive expiratory pressure, high-frequency chest wall compression, chest tapping, vibration, active breathing cycle technique, etc. All chest physiotherapy was performed by 1 therapist.
