Critical Illness
Conditions
Brief summary
Electrical impedance tomography was used to monitor changes in pulmonary perfusion distribution and V/Q ratio before and after iNO in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome to investigate the factors predicting iNO reactivity and the physiological mechanism underlying changes in oxygenation.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Lung ventilation/perfusion ration | 3 hours | Lung ventilation/perfusion ration after iNO assessed by EIT |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Shunting | 30minutes and 3 hours | Lung shunting% after iNO assessed by EIT |
| Dead space | 30minutes and 3 hours | Lung dead space after iNO assessed by EIT |
| Oxygenation index | 30minutes and 3 hours | Oxygenation index= arterial partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen |
| Lung perfusion distribution | 30minutes and 3 hours | Lung ventilation/perfusion ration after iNO assessed by EIT |
| Static respiratory compliance (Crs) | 30minutes and 3 hours | Crs=tidal volume/driving pressure |
| Cardiac output | 30minutes and 3 hours | Cardiac output assessed by echocardiography |
| Right ventricular function | 30minutes and 3 hours | Right ventricular function assessed by echocardiography |
| Arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) | 30minutes and 3 hours | PaCO2 is one of the key indicators of pulmonary ventilation which can be obtained from arterial blood gas analysis. |
