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 …

EIT is not routinely used in a clinical setting, but the interest in EIT is evident. The major task
for EIT research is to provide the clinicians with guidelines how to conduct, analyse and …

Background Dyspnea is common after COVID-19 pneumonia and can be characterized by a
defective CO2 diffusion (DLCO) despite normal pulmonary function tests (PFT) …

Study objective To investigate the variation of poorly ventilated lung units (ie, silent spaces)
in children undergoing procedural sedation in a day-hospital setting, until discharge home …

The aim was to evaluate the feasibility of using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in
horses. Thoracic EIT was used in nine horses. Thoracic and abdominal circumference …

Alterations in regional lung function due to respiratory infection have a significant effect on
the deposition of inhaled treatments. This has consequences for treatment effectiveness and …

A recent large prospective cohort study showed an unexpectedly high in-hospital mortality
after major non-cardiac surgery in Europe, as well as a high incidence of postoperative …

Animal models of critical illness are vital in biomedical research. They provide possibilities
for the investigation of pathophysiological processes that may not otherwise be possible in …

Rationale Cyclic strain may be a determinant of ventilator‐induced lung injury. The standard
for strain assessment is the computed tomography (CT), which does not allow continuous …

It is crucial to precisely monitor ventilation and correctly diagnose ventilation-related
pathological states for averting lung collapse and lung failure in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) …
