Continuous monitoring of lung ventilation can be useful in treating patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has been used as a relatively new imaging technique for this purpose. We presented a patient with pneumonia who was admitted to the ICU after pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) required to perform bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). A drainage procedure and subsequent improvement in pulmonary function were monitored using EIT contributed to the treatment process. The patient has been discharged from the hospital with an improved general condition.
对入住重症监护病房（ICU）的患者进行肺部通气的连续监测可能会有所帮助。为此，已经使用了电阻抗断层成像（EIT）作为一种相对较新的成像技术。我们介绍了一位患有肺炎的患者，他在肺血栓栓塞症（PTE）后被收治到 ICU，需要进行支气管肺泡灌洗（BAL）。EIT 用于监测引流过程和随后的肺功能改善，有助于治疗过程。患者的一般状况改善后出院。
