Comparison of EIT-derived regional lung opening pressures with global measures of lung mechanics

Tobias Becher, Constantin Cossel, Philipp Rostalski, Andy Adler, Norbert Weiler, Inez Frerichs

Abstract

A low-flow pressure-volume curve is often used to assess the mechanical properties of the lungs in mechanically ventilated patients. We compared the curve’s lower point of maximal curvature, derived from 4 different sigmoid models, with the mean dorsal lung opening pressure, determined with EIT.
