The distribution of regional lung ventilation (DVPR) is heterogeneous and may be influenced by postural changes and the application of non-invasive ventilation (NIV). The electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is probably able to detect and measure these changes. Objective: To evaluate the acute effects of NIV and changes in decubitus, and the combination of both interventions, on the DVPR in young adult healthy volunteers, through analysis of images obtained by EIT. Methods: This is an applied, experimental, quantitative and cross-sectional study in ten healthy volunteers, analyzing the ventilatory patterns in dorsal decubitus (DD), ventral (DV), right lateral (RLD) and left lateral (LLD), breathing spontaneously (BS), with CPAP (10 cmH2O) and BiPAP (IPAP of 15 cmH2O and EPAP of 5 cmH2O) for a ten minutes period. Results: The distribution of ventilation was directed to the dependent regions of the lungs on DD, LLD and RLD. During DV, the DVPR was higher in the non-dependent regions (dorsal pulmonary zones). The change in DVPR was higher in the lateral decubitus position compared to the DD, with a greater increase in ventilation in the dependent lung while in the RLD as compared to the LLD. The application of NIV (CPAP and BiPAP) did not change the spatial DVPR, despite the significant increase (p < 0.05) in tidal volume in DD in the BiPAP mode, when compared to the BS and the CPAP mode. Conclusions: The analysis of the images of the thorax obtained by EIT allowed to evaluate the effects of changes in body positioning and application of NIV on the DVPR. The DVPR was significantly influenced by changing decubitus during spontaneous breathing. In the DV (prone positioning) the DVPR was higher in the dorsal parts of the lung (non-dependent regions). During NIV, the ventilation distribution was not changed, but a greater fraction of the tidal volume was directed to the non-dependent regions in the BiPAP mode as compared comparison to the BS and the CPAP mode and, especially when in both lateral decubitus.
