Prone position and APRV for severe hypoxemia in COVID-19 patients: The role of perfusion
There have been confusion and contradiction on how to best manage patients with acute respiratory failure secondary to Corona virus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Recent report suggested two different phenotypes of patho-physiology (type L and type H).

Background In acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), non-ventilated perfused regions coexist with non-perfused ventilated regions within lungs. The number of unmatched regions might reflect ARDS severity and affect the risk of ventilation-induced ...

Introduction Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can be used to assess ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch within the lungs. Several methods have been proposed, some of them neglecting the absolute value of alveolar ventilation (V A) and cardiac ...

Cocaine-Induced Ventilation/Perfusion Mismatch Mimicking Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary complications from cocaine use can range from bronchospasm to vasospasm leading to pulmonary infarction. Profound vasospasm may also lead to perfusion defects presenting as pulmonary embolism on ventilation-perfusion scan. A 65-year-old patient

Lung scintigraphy in differential diagnosis of peripheral lung cancer and community-acquired pneumonia [PDF]
Ventilation/perfusion lung scintigraphy was performed in 39 patients with verified diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and in 14 patients with peripheral lung cancer. Ventilation/perfusion ratio, apical-basal gradients of ventilation (U/L(V))
