Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has been intensively and continuously studied
in various settings, but its mortality is still as high as 30–40%. For the last 20 years, lung …

Mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) incurs a risk of
ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI) from inhomogeneous conditions and different …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a clinical entity that acutely affects the lung
parenchyma, and is characterized by diffuse alveolar damage and increased pulmonary …

OBJECTIVE: To describe, through a narrative review, the physiologic principles underlying
electrical impedance tomography, and its potential applications in managing acute …

Gentle lung ventilation must be standard practice. Because stress and strain are the triggers
of ventilator-induced lung injury, their clinical equivalents should be measured …

Hypoxemic respiratory failure is one of the leading causes of mortality in intensive care.
Frequent assessment of individual physiological characteristics and delivery of personalized …

Background The aim of this study was to validate whether regional ventilation and perfusion
data measured by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) with saline bolus could …

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, radiation-free monitoring tool that
allows real-time imaging of ventilation [1–3]. EIT was first used to monitor respiratory function …

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a bedside monitoring tool that noninvasively
visualizes local ventilation and arguably lung perfusion distribution. This article reviews and …

Despite recent advances in intensive care medicine, acute lung injury and its more severe
form, acute respiratory distress syndrome pose major therapeutic problems. While …
