Lung Perfusion

This study aims to compare lung perfusion distribution between inspiratory breath-hold and expiratory breath-hold phases using the saline indicator method combined with electrical impedance tomography (EIT). A self-controlled crossover design will be used in which each participant undergoes both breath-hold conditions with standardized rapid intravenous saline injections. The primary objective is to evaluate changes in global and regional pulmonary perfusion under different lung volume states. The findings may improve understanding of perfusion redistribution with lung inflation and support optimized ventilatory strategies in clinical practice.
