Case report: Electrical impedance tomography-guided ventilator weaning in an obese patient with severe pneumonia.
Front Med (Lausanne)
January 2025
Intensive Care Unit, Zhongshan City People's Hospital, Zhongshan City, China.
Background: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) evaluates lung function by providing continuous, real-time monitoring of regional lung ventilation distribution to guide the restoration of lung ventilation. Patients with obesity who are dependent on mechanical ventilation often struggle with weaning. This case report highlights the potential of EIT to guide the weaning of ventilator-dependent patients in an obese patient with severe pneumonia.

Purpose This study aimed to clarify which positions are beneficial for patients with pathological lung diseases, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, by obtaining lung ventilation and deformable vector field (DVF) images using Deformable Image Registration (DIR). Methods Thirteen healthy volunteers (5 female, 8 male) provided informed consent to participate to observe changes in normal lungs. DIR imaging was processed using the B-spline algorithm to obtain BH-CTVI (inhale, exhale) in four body positions (supine, prone, right lateral, left lateral) using DIR-based breath-hold CT ventilation imaging (BH-CTVI).

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand
February 2025
Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Kolding Hospital, Denmark.
Aim: To describe the use of invasive mechanical ventilation core strategies, adjuvant treatments and the occurrence of barotrauma and prolonged ventilation in ICU patients with COVID-19 in Denmark, retrospectively.
Methods: All ICUs admitting COVID-19 patients in Denmark from 10 March 2020 to 2 April 2021 were invited to participate. All patients with COVID-19 who received invasive mechanical ventilation were included and data was retrospectively collected from electronic patient records.
Comparison of different localization needles and postures in localization of pulmonary nodules.
J Cardiothorac Surg
December 2024
Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Hospital of China Medical University, No. 155, Nanjing North Street, Shenyang, 110002, Liaoning, P.R. China.
Background: With advancements in imaging testing and surgical procedures, an increasing number of nodules with smaller diameters and deeper locations have been deemed suitable for surgical intervention. The preoperative localization of these nodules has become essential. In this retrospective single-center study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness and patient comfort associated with the use of a four-hook needle versus a hook-wire needle for preoperative localization.
