Clinical implication of monitoring regional ventilation using electrical impedance tomography
Abstract Mechanical ventilation can initiate ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI) and contribute to the development of multiple organ dysfunction. Although a lung protective strategy limiting both tidal volume and plateau pressure reduces VALI, uneven intrapulmonary gas distribution is still cap...
