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

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 …

Background. General anaesthesia leads to atelectasis, reduced end-expiratory lung volume
(EELV), and diminished arterial oxygenation in obese patients. We hypothesized that a …

It has been shown that mechanical ventilation in patients with, or at high-risk for, the
development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can be a double-edged sword …

This review summarizes the state-of-the-art in electrical impedance tomography (EIT) for
ventilation and perfusion imaging. EIT is a relatively new technology used to image regional …

In patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), lung imaging is a
fundamental tool in the study of the morphological and mechanistic features of the lungs …

In recent years there has been substantial progress in the imaging evaluation of patients
with lung disease requiring mechanical ventilatory assistance. This has been demonstrated …

Background General anesthesia may cause atelectasis and deterioration in oxygenation in
obese patients. The authors hypothesized that individualized positive end-expiratory …

Objective: To utilize real-time electrical impedance tomography to guide lung protective
ventilation in an animal model of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Design: Prospective …

Background Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy requires general
anaesthesia, extreme Trendelenburg positioning and capnoperitoneum. Together these …
