Article Synopsis
- Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) can help measure airway opening pressure (AOP) in patients with lung issues, revealing that asymmetrical AOPs may lead to delays in air filling between the lungs.
- A study involving 23 patients, mostly with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), found that those with AOP asymmetry experienced significant delays in lung inflation compared to those with symmetrical AOPs, particularly during low-flow inflation and tidal ventilation.
- The results suggest that adjusting Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) levels can help reduce inter-lung inflation delays, making it possible to monitor lung function effectively, even during challenging ventilation scenarios.
