The bioelectrical impedance analysis method is a non-invasive, rapid accurate and practical method for assessing body composition. During last decade evidence has been gathered that supports the use of this method to monitor hydration status. This review critically examines different approaches and applications of segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis in the healthy and clinical situations.
Segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis may be useful to assess appendicular lean body mass, to estimate muscle volume and to investigate possible relationships between muscle size and strength in a limited segment of the limb. The method may become a tool for the bedside detection of fluid accumulation in critical care.
This is a review of segmental bioelectrical impedance. The preponderance of the published applications of bioelectrical impedance analysis focused on applications in a healthy population and in the field indicate the validity of the methods. A short description of the set-up of the segmental method is also given. This review discusses the application of segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis in children in different ethnic populations, in clinical situations. We also examine the application of the method to assessing body composition, and monitoring rapid changes in internal fluid balance in the field of haemodialysis and during surgery.
生物电阻抗分析方法是一种用于评估身体成分的非侵入性、快速准确且实用的方法。在过去十年中，已有证据支持使用该方法来监测水合状态。本综述批判性地审视了节段性生物电阻抗分析在健康和临床情况下的不同方法及应用。
节段性生物电阻抗分析可能有助于评估四肢瘦体重、估计肌肉体积，并研究肢体有限节段内肌肉大小与力量之间的可能关系。该方法可能成为重症监护中床边检测液体蓄积的工具。
这是一篇关于节段性生物电阻抗的综述。已发表的生物电阻抗分析应用大多集中在健康人群和该领域的应用上，表明了这些方法的有效性。还简要介绍了节段性方法的设置。本综述讨论了节段性生物电阻抗分析在不同种族人群儿童、临床情况下的应用。我们还研究了该方法在评估身体成分以及监测血液透析领域和手术期间体内液体平衡快速变化方面的应用。
