Predicting early prone position ventilation responsiveness in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome based on electrical impedance tomography: a prospective study
Key Points
Response to prone position ventilation is predicted by shunt% in ROI 3 in ARDS patients.
The study reveals that assessing shunt% could enhance treatment strategies in the early phase of ARDS.
This observational analysis utilizes electrical impedance tomography to assess ventilation responsiveness.
Identifying ventilatory response metrics may enable timely interventions for ARDS management.
Abstract
For moderate to severe ARDS patients, the shunt% in ROI 3 before PPV could help to predict the response of PPV during the early phase.
