The outer sensors transmit the alternating electrical current, and the inner sensors determine the thoracic impedance. There are two primary components of impedance: 1) base impedance, which ...

Results: At all volume instillations, mean impedance within the right ventral (RV) quadrant was significantly higher than all other quadrants (p< 0.0001 ANOVA). A significantly greater EIT ...

When considering diuretic therapy, a focus on the change in TFC can provide a sensitive and independent evaluation of thoracic fluid response. With use of parenteral agents, measures of ...
