Effects of the Pleural Effusion Drainage in Mechanically Ventilated Patients Monitored by Electrical Impedance Tomography and End-Expiratory Lung Volume
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Electrical Impedance Tomography record for Pleural Effusion and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 19 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Evacuation of pleural effusion (PE) represents a disputable therapy in mechanically ventilated patients. Patients on mechanical ventilation indicated by the physician to pleural fluid evacuation will be monitored throughout the procedure by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and concurrently end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) will be measured in order to describe impact of PE evacuation on aeration and ventilation of the lungs.
