Electrical impedance tomography-guided the optimal awake prone position in a moderate ARDS patient

Awake prone positioning (APP) has gained prominence as a therapeutic intervention for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), particularly in COVID-19-related respiratory failure due to its proven survival benefits [1, 2]. However, the clinical applicability of APP in non-COVID-19 ARDS populations remains controversial, with patient tolerance and heterogeneous lung recruitment responses posing significant challenges [3]. To address […]

Distribution of airway pressure opening in the lungs measured with electrical impedance tomography (POET): a prospective physiological study

Abstract Background In patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) under mechanical ventilation, the change in pressure slope during a low-flow insufflation indicates a global airway opening pressure (AOP) needed to reopen closed airways and may be used for titration of positive end-expiratory pressure. Objectives To understand 1) if airways open homogeneously inside the lungs
