Roles of electrical impedance tomography in lung transplantation
Lung transplantation is the preferred treatment method for patients with end-stage pulmonary disease. However, several factors hinder the progress of lung transplantation, including donor shortages, candidate selection, and various postoperative complications.

description | Lung transplantation is the preferred treatment method for patients with end-stage pulmonary disease. However, several factors hinder the progress of lung transplantation, including donor shortages, candidate selection, and various postoperative complications. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a functional imaging tool that can be used to evaluate pulmonary ventilation and perfusion at the bedside. Among patients after lung transplantation, monitoring the graft’s pulmonary function is one of the most concerning issues. The feasible application of EIT in lung transplantation has been reported over the past few years, and this technique has gained increasing interest from multidisciplinary researchers. Nevertheless, physicians still lack knowledge concerning the potential applications of EIT in lung transplantation. We present an updated review of EIT in lung transplantation donors and recipients over the past few years, and discuss the potential use of ventilation- and perfusion-monitoring-based EIT in lung transplantation. |
