Advanced Monitoring of Ventilation/Perfusion (V/Q) Mismatch During Surgery: Impact on Patient Outcomes
Abstract Ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch during surgery is a critical factor influencing patient outcomes, particularly in high-risk procedures. Advanced technologies such as automatic lung parameter estimation (ALPE), lung ultrasound (LUS), electrical impedance tomography (EIT), CO₂ monitoring, and machine learning have significantly improved our ability to monitor and manage V/Q mismatch in real-time. This article reviews multiple … Read more
