Prone Positioning and Regional Ventilation in Mechanically Ventilated COVID-19 Patients

NCT04359407 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 29

Last updated 2021-07-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The consensus therapeutic strategy implies that COVID patients with acute lung injury due to coronavirus are routinely placed in prone position in an attempt to improve oxygenation by increasing ventilation homogeneity. The purpose of the study is to quantify with the electrical impedance tomography (EIT) the changes in the ventilation and aeration in the dorsal regions of the lung when the patient is placed in prone position.

Conditions

  • Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2
  • Electric Impedance
  • Prone Positioning

Interventions

OTHER

Prone positioning
