Comparison of regional lung mechanics using electrical impedance tomography in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 vs pre-pandemic patients: A retrospective study
Regional lung dynamics were generally comparable in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients when assessed by EIT. Based on these findings, mechanical ventilation protocols should be optimized for comparable parameters in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients.
