Abstract
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive and portable lung imaging technique for dynamic evaluation of lung volume distribution. Previous studies had proved the EIT can provide information on regional distribution of ventilation and changes in end-expiratory lung volume (△EELV). The effect of EIT application in ventilation distribution of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) patients underwent weaning program is unknown.
Highlights
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive and portable lung imaging technique for dynamic evaluation of lung volume distribution
prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) patients were ventilated under volume assist-control (AC) mode and subsequently under 100% automatic tube compensation (ATC) weaning
We compared the data of end-expiratory lung impedance change (ΔEELI), ventilation distribution in regions of interest (ROIs), ratio of tidal variation, the global inhomogeneity (GI) index, the center of ventilation
