Lung-Dependent Areas Collapse, Monitored by Electrical Impedance Tomography, May Predict the Oxygenation Response to Prone Ventilation in COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

ICUs have had to deal with a large number of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome COVID-19, a significant number of whom received prone ventilation, which is a substantial consumer of care time. The selection of patients that we have to ventilate in prone position seems interesting. We evaluate the correlation between the percentage of collapsed dependent lung areas in the supine position, monitoring by electrical impedance tomography and the oxygenation response (change in Pao2/Fio2 ratio) to prone position.

Design

An observational prospective study.

Setting

From October 21, 2020, to 30 March 30, 2021. At the Sainte Anne military teaching Hospital and the Timone University Hospital.

Patients

Fifty consecutive patients admitted in our IC
