Regional expiratory time constants in severe respiratory failure estimated by electrical impedance tomography: a feasibility study

Regional expiratory time constants in severe respiratory failure estimated by electrical impedance tomography: a feasibility study

Abstract Background Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has been used to guide mechanical ventilation in ICU patients with lung collapse. Its use in patients with obstructive pulmonary diseases has been rare since obstructions could not be monitored on a regional level at the bedside. The current...
