Detailed Description
Epidural block may affect the physiological mechanism of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, which is still poorly understood. Electrical impedance tomography might be helpful in establishing the hypoxemia etiology at bedside via combining regional ventilation and perfusion information.
Study Design
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Assess regional distribution of pulmonary perfusion [within 24 hours]
To evaluate the effect of epidural block on pulmonary blood flow distribution.
- Assess oxygenation status [within 24 hours]
To evaluate the effect of epidural block by assessing regional distribution of pulmonary perfusion based on indicator dilution and changes at different points in time during varying states of regional ventilation will be evaluated.
