Clinical Trial: The Feasibility of Pulmonary Perfusion Assessment Using Sodium Bicarbonate Contrast With Electrical Impedance Tomography: A Prospective Pilot Study

U.S., April 22 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07542366) titled 'The Feasibility of Pulmonary Perfusion Assessment Using Sodium Bicarbonate Contrast With Electrical Impedance Tomography: A Prospective Pilot Study' on April 14.

Brief Summary: The goal of this observational pilot study is to learn if sodium bicarbonate can be used safely and effectively as a contrast agent to map lung blood flow using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in adults on mechanical ventilation. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a bedside imaging method that uses a soft belt with small sensors around the chest to track changes in electrical signals related to breathing and blood flow.

The main questions are: ...
