Impact of cardiac output and alveolar ventilation in estimating ventilation/perfusion mismatch in ARDS using electrical impedance tomography
Abstract Introduction Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can be used to assess ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch within the lungs. Several methods have been proposed, some of them neglecting the absolute value of alveolar ventilation (V A) and cardiac output (Q C). Whether this omission result...
