The Role of Electrical Impedance Tomography for Management of High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism in a Postoperative Patient

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, radiation-free and bedside imaging tool that is widely used for real-time monitoring of lung ventilation. Recently, it has been proposed for use in quantitative assessment of regional lung perfusion with hypertonic saline bolus injection and c...
