About this trial

To investigate global and regional changes in lung ventilation and perfusion induced by prone position in ARDS patients assessed by 3D-EIT. And to investigate the difference between 2D-EIT and 3D-EIT in prone position monitoring.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

patients on mechanical ventilation.

Diagnosis of ARDS was based on the Berlin definition

Patients in need of prone position because of clinical condition

Disqualifiers

Under 18 years of age.

Pregnant women;

Ribcage malformation

Any contraindication to the use of EIT (e.g. automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator, and implantable pumps).

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Prone position

    Behavioral

    Patients were ventilated based on the ARDS-Net recommendations . Patients were kept in a supine position. The process of lung ventilation and perfusion assessment was as follows: 1. PEEP was determined by the attending doctor and was kept the same during the supine and prone period. 2. 3D-EIT was used to monitor the ventilation and perfusion of ARDS patients at three timepoints: T1: supine position, T2: prone position at 30min, T3: prone position over 10 hours.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Regional ventilation monitored by EIT

Using EIT to monitor the regional ventilation during supine and prone position, to monitor the ventilation distribution change.

Time frame
5-10minutes
2

Regional perfusion monitored by EIT

Using EIT to monitor the regional perfusion during supine and prone position, to monitor the ventilation distribution change.

Time frame
5-10minutes
3

V/Q monitored by EIT

Ventilation and perfusion monitored by EIT in supine and prone position. To evaluate the V/Q match, deadspace and shunt lung region.

Time frame
5-10minutes

Secondary outcomes

1

Respiratory system compliance

Monitor the respiratory system compliance during supine and prone position

Time frame
1 day
2

SpO2

Monitor the SpO2 during supine and prone position

Time frame
