Real-time effects of lateral positioning on regional ventilation and perfusion in an experimental model of acute respiratory distress syndrome

Low-volume lung injury encompasses local concentration of stresses in the vicinity of collapsed regions in heterogeneously ventilated lungs. We aimed to study the effects on ventilation and perfusion distributions of a sequential lateral positioning (30°) strategy using electrical impedance tomograp...
