Case Report: Electrical impedance tomography-guided ultra-protective lung ventilation during veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for fat embolism syndrome complicated by severe acute respiratory distress syndrome
Background Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a rare complication of severe multiple trauma. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a noninvasive, real-time, bedside tool for monitoring regional pulmonary ventilation. Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) may improve outcomes in critically ill patient...
