Monitoring lung changes from prone positioning in ARDS with 3D electrical impedance tomography

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study will record global and regional lung ventilation and perfusion changes when mechanically ventilated ARDS patients are placed in the prone position using 3D electrical impedance tomography (3D-EIT). Patients who are clinically judged to need prone positioning will be monitored before, during, and after proning without changing standard care. The study will directly compare measurements from conventional 2D-EIT with those from 3D-EIT to identify differences in monitoring performance. The work is conducted at the Department of Critical Care Medicine, Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing and excludes patients with implanted devices, ribcage malformations, pregnancy, or age under 18.
