A personalized mechanical ventilation approach for patients with adult respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS) based on lung physiology and morphology, ARDS etiology, lung imaging …

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has undergone 30 years of development. Functional
chest examinations with this technology are considered clinically relevant, especially for …

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a bedside monitoring tool that noninvasively
visualizes local ventilation and arguably lung perfusion distribution. This article reviews and …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical entity that acutely affects the lung
parenchyma, and is characterized by diffuse alveolar damage and increased pulmonary …

This review summarizes the state-of-the-art in electrical impedance tomography (EIT) for
ventilation and perfusion imaging. EIT is a relatively new technology used to image regional …

Objectives: We recently described how spontaneous effort during mechanical ventilation can
cause “pendelluft,” that is, displacement of gas from nondependent (more recruited) lung to …

In recent years there has been substantial progress in the imaging evaluation of patients
with lung disease requiring mechanical ventilatory assistance. This has been demonstrated …

Background In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), non-ventilated perfused regions
coexist with non-perfused ventilated regions within lungs. The number of unmatched regions …

Breathing moves volumes of electrically insulating air into and out of the lungs, producing
conductivity changes which can be seen by electrical impedance tomography (EIT). It has …

Purpose Imaging has become increasingly important across medical specialties for
diagnostic, monitoring, and investigative purposes in acute respiratory distress syndrome …
