Dynamics of regional lung aeration determined by electrical impedance tomography in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Lung tissue of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is heterogeneously damaged and prone to develop atelectasis. During inflation, atelectatic regions may exhibit alveolar recruitment accompanied by prolonged fill...
