First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study is testing whether a common substance, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), can be used as a safe contrast agent to create images of lung blood flow using a bedside device called electrical impedance tomography (EIT). The study involves 41 adults in the intensive care unit who are on breathing machines. Researchers will compare images made with sodium bicarbonate to those made with a standard salt solution to see if the quality is similar. The goal is to find a safer, more practical way to assess lung function in critically ill patients.
