Conditions

ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome), Respiratory Failure

Brief summary

To investigate global and regional changes in lung ventilation and perfusion induced by prone position in ARDS patients assessed by 3D-EIT. And to investigate the difference between 2D-EIT and 3D-EIT in prone position monitoring.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALProne position

Patients were ventilated based on the ARDS-Net recommendations . Patients were kept in a supine position. The process of lung ventilation and perfusion assessment was as follows: 1. PEEP was determined by the attending doctor and was kept the same during the supine and prone period. 2. 3D-EIT was used to monitor the ventilation and perfusion of ARDS patients at three timepoints: T1: supine position, T2: prone position at 30min, T3: prone position over 10 hours.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Regional ventilation monitored by EIT5-10minutesUsing EIT to monitor the regional ventilation during supine and prone position, to monitor the ventilation distribution change.
Regional perfusion monitored by EIT5-10minutesUsing EIT to monitor the regional perfusion during supine and prone position, to monitor the ventilation distribution change.
V/Q monitored by EIT5-10minutesVentilation and perfusion monitored by EIT in supine and prone position. To evaluate the V/Q match, deadspace and shunt lung region.

Secondary
