A Pumpless Lung Assist Device Reduces Mechanical Ventilation-Induced Lung Injury in Juvenile Piglets
Regional distribution of blood volume within the preterm infant thorax during synchronised mechanical ventilation
Perfusion in healthy adults is gravity-dependent. Little is known about lung perfusion in the preterm infant. The aim of this study was to describe the regional distribution of blood volume within the thorax in preterm infants receiving synchronised volume-targeted mechanical ventilation (SIPPV + TTV) and to compare this to regional distribution of tidal ventilation using electrical impedance tomography (EIT)
