EIT during pronation in ARDS

Details and patient eligibility

About

Acute respiratory distress syndrome is an acute form of lung injury. The most commonly used classification criteria for this syndrome are Berlin's Criteria. The actual literature underlines the advantages of prone position in mild or severe forms of ARDS in association with invasive mechanical ventilation. The hypothesis of this study is to investigate the effective ventilation and perfusion modifications during pronation assessed with clinical parameters and with the aid of the electrical impedance tomography.
