Electrical Impedance Tomography Identifies Evolution of Regional Perfusion in a Porcine Model of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Authors: Kevin T Martin, M.D. et al  Anesthesiology August 2023. Background Bedside electrical impedance tomography (EIT) could be useful to visualize evolving pulmonary perfusion distributions when acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) worsens or in response to ventilatory and positional therapies. In experimental ARDS, we evaluated the agreement of EIT and dynamic-contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) […]
