Unmatched ventilation and perfusion measured by electrical impedance tomography predicts the outcome of ARDS
Abstract Background In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), non-ventilated perfused regions coexist with non-perfused ventilated regions within lungs. The number of unmatched regions might reflect ARDS severity and affect the risk of ventilation-induced lung injury. Despite pathophysiological...
