Gravitational distribution of regional intrapulmonary shunt assessed by EIT in ARDS
Two phenotypes of regional shunt gravitational distribution can be revealed by EIT. Patients exhibiting a predominance of dependent shunt were characterized by a higher BMI and extrapulmonary ARDS and may experience faster improvement in oxygenation as well as better clinical outcomes. Further research is necessary to evaluate shunt distribution patterns to guide the individualized treatment of ARDS patients.
