AbstractContinuous 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.Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
