Non-Invasive Measurements of Changes in Pulmonary Artery Pressure in Intensive Care Unit Patients Using Electrical Impedance Tomography - A Feasibility Study

NCT06544148 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 28

Last updated 2024-11-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To assess whether changes in electrical impedance - measured using an electrical impedance tomography (EIT) chest belt - can be used to derive changes in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) in critically ill patients when compared to invasive gold-standard PAP measured using pulmonary artery catheter (PAC).

Conditions

  • Pulmonary Artery Hypertension

Interventions

DEVICE

Electrical impedance tomography

In addition to routine critical care with a pulmonary artery catheter already in place (PAC), an electrical impedance tomography (EIT) belt will be placed in patients enrolled in this study. Data will be analyzed offline and clinical trajectory and/or decisions will not be impacted by this additional monitoring. EIT is a non-invasive, safe, and radiation-free medical imaging modality.
