RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Lung Volume Measurement and Ventilation Distribution During Invasive Mechanical Ventilation JF Respiratory Care FD American Association for Respiratory Care SP 760 OP 771 DO 10.4187/respcare.07467 VO 65 IS 6 A1 Thomas Piraino YR 2020 UL http://rc.rcjournal.com/content/65/6/760.abstract AB Lung volume measurement performed during invasive mechanical ventilation can be used to determine functional residual capacity, changes in end-expiratory lung volume with the application of PEEP, and lung strain. However, many bedside measurements provide useful information without the use of specialized equipment. Ventilation distribution through the lung has traditionally been assessed with computed tomography, but more recently electrical impedance tomography has brought the ability to monitor this at the bedside, and without exposure to radiation. This review will describe techniques to measure lung volumes in the ICU and the relationship between lung strain, stress, and other measurements. This review will also discuss monitoring ventilation distribution at the bedside and the clinical assessment of regional compliance that this technology provides.
