Clinical Trial: Pulse Wave vs. Saline Contrast EIT for Pulmonary Perfusion in ARDS

U.S., Nov. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07908368) titled 'Pulse Wave vs. Saline Contrast EIT for Pulmonary Perfusion in ARDS' on Oct. 25.

Brief Summary: Monitoring pulmonary perfusion is crucial in critical care, especially for conditions like ARDS. Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a valuable, non-invasive tool for real-time bedside monitoring.While well-established for lung ventilation, EIT faces a challenge in perfusion imaging because the related impedance signal is very weak. Currently, two main methods are used:Saline Bolus EIT: Involves injecting a saline solution during a breath-hold to track blood flow.Pulse Wave EIT: Utilizes cardiac-induced vascular pulsations to assess pe...
