Brief Summary

Patients with ARDS often suffer a gravity-dependent alveolar collapse, resulting in a reduction of tidal volume, residual alveolar excessive distension, and ventilator-related lung injury(VILI) induced by unreasonable ventilator setting.Prone ventilation (PPV) improves the gravity-dependent alveolar ventilation and promotes lung recruitment in the gravity-dependent area and improves lung compliance. Previous studies showed that prolonged PPV combined with low tidal volume(LTV) lung protected ventilation can significantly reduce the mortality of patients with moderate to severe ARDS.Although more than 60% of patients with moderate to severe ARDS due to COVID-19 has been widely implemented PPV,studies showed an improvement in oxygenation in patients with ARDS(the P/F radio improved by more than 20% before and after PPV) was 9-77%, that is, That is, some patients are unresponsive to PPV. In addition, some patients showed CO2 responsiveness after PPV(ventilation rate (VR) decreased significantly after PPV).The tools for monitoring the effects of PPV on ventilation and blood flow at bedside are still lacking, Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, non-radiative, real-time bedside lung imaging technique that can monitor local lung ventilation distribution. This study intends to use EIT to evaluate pulmonary ventilation, blood flow distribution and local V/Q ratio before and after PPV, as well as to monitor the changes in pulmonary physiology before and after PPV, explore the mechanism of PPV improving oxygenation by combined with the changes in oxygenation, and explore the factors that predict and affect PPV responsiveness.

Keywords

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome; Electrical impedance tomography; prone position ventilation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pulmonary ventilation perfusion(V/Q) ratio after 16 hours of PPV monitored by EIT

  the V/Q radio were monitored by EIT after patients were implemented prone position ventilation(PPV) for 16h. The images of ventilation distribution were collected by EIT, and the images of perfusion distribution were collected by injected 10ml of 10% hypertonic saline through a central vein catheter during inspiratory hold or expiratory hold. The ventilation and perfusion images were analysed by specialized software to obtain the data of V/Q radio.

  16 hours after prone position ventilation

Secondary Outcomes (18)

• Pulmonary ventilation perfusion(V/Q) ratio before PPV monitored by EIT before PPV

  within 1 hour before preparing PPV

• Pulmonary ventilation perfusion(V/Q) ratio after PPV ending 8h monitored by EIT

  8 hours hours after prone position ventilation ending

• Pulmonary ventilation distribution before PPV, PPV for 16h and 8h after PPV ending

  within 1hour before preparing PPV, 16 hours after and 8 hours after PPV ending

• Pulmonary perfusion distribution before PPV, PPV for 16h and 8h after PPV ending

  within 1 hour before preparing PPV, 16 hours after and 8 hours after PPV ending

• Pulmonary shunt percentage before PPV, PPV for 16h and 8h after PPV ending

  within 1 hour before preparing PPV, 16 hours after and 8 hours after PPV ending
