View clinical trials related to Inhomogeneous Ventilation.
Filter by:Inhomogeneous ventilation was more likely to happen in patients after general anesthesia. Inhomogeneous ventilation may associate with ventilator-induced lung injury. A large number of post-neurosurgical patients was delayed extubation and received mechanical ventilation, so that, inhomogeneous ventilation was more likely to happen in the population. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an noninvasive, radiation-free, high temporal resolution, relatively cheap technique in monitoring ventilation distribution bedside. The investigators aimed to investigate the incidence of inhomogeneous ventilation and factors associated with inhomogeneous ventilation in post-neurosurgical patients under mechanical ventilation.
