Influence of Fluid Challenge on End-Expiratory Lung Impedance in Mechanically Ventilated Patients Monitored With Electrical Impedance Tomography

Germany25 participantsStarted 2016-12

Plain-language summary

The study investigates the influence of a clinically indicated fluid challenge on end-expiratory lung impedance, assessed by electrical impedance tomography (EIT). EIT data will be collected before, during and after infusion of 500 ml of crystalloid solution in mechanically ventilated patients on an operative intensive care unit.
