Ventilation distribution during spontaneous breathing trials predicts liberation from mechanical ventilation: the VISION study
Abstract Background Predicting complete liberation from mechanical ventilation (MV) is still challenging. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) offers a non-invasive measure of regional ventilation distribution and could bring additional information. Research question. Whether the display of regional ventilation distribution during a Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) could help at predicting early and successful liberation from MV. Study […]
