Epidural Block Impairs HPV During One-lung Ventilation: an EIT- Based Prospective Observation Study

January 25, 2021 updated by: Ming Zhong, Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital

Epidural Block Impairs Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction During One-lung Ventilation: an Electrical Impedance Tomography- Based Prospective Observation Study

Define the effect of epidural block on HPV by EIT.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Epidural block may affect the physiological mechanism of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, which is still poorly understood. Electrical impedance tomography might be helpful in establishing the hypoxemia etiology at bedside via combining regional ventilation and perfusion information.
