About this trial

Investigation of the correlation of CT-morphological changes of the lung compared to regional ventilation distribution on electrical impedance tomography in patients with post-acute-Covid-19 symptoms.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

all patients undergoing a Chest CT due to suspected post-acute-Covid-19-syndrome

>18 years

informed consent.

Disqualifiers

trauma patients and patients with unstable spinal injuries or fractures

patients with an BMI over 50

patients with uncontrolled body movements

Patients with a pacemaker

Trial population

All patients presenting to the post-COVID-19 outpatient clinic are screened.

Trial design

Design model

Cohort

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

additional EIT Measurement
Diagnostic test
Patients who receive standard CT and pulmonary function testing also receive electroimpedance tomography measurement. The lunghealthy Patients in the control group only receive a EIT.

Treatment groups

50 Participants

are divided into 2 treatment groups

Group A: Control cohort0 interventions

Group B: Case cohort1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Correlation between tomography and electroimpedance tomography

The primary study objective is to match CT morphological changes in regional ventilation in post-COVID patients and/or changes in lung function examination with changes that can be visualized by electroimpedance tomography.

Time frame

until May 2022

Secondary outcomes

Correlation between lung function testing and electroimpedance tomography

Time frame

until May 2022
