In 11 supine dogs, we related regional lung water concentration (rLWC) measurements
made with positron emission tomography (PET) after canine oleic acid (OA)-induced acute …

Regional measurements of extravascular lung water (rEVLW) were made with positron
emission tomography (PET) and 15O-labeled radionuclides. The label used to measure the …

We examined the effect of regional pulmonary blood flow (PBF) on lung water
measurements made with a blood-borne label (15O-water) and positron emission …

We measured regional pulmonary blood flow (rPBF) and extravascular lung water (rEVLW)
with positron emission tomography (PET) before and after a lobar lung injury induced by …

The effect of body position on regional pulmonary blood flow (rPBF) and lung water
concentration (rLWC) was studied before and after canine oleic acid (OA)-induced acute …

Purpose: To determine whether positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) would change the
altered regional pulmonary perfusion pattern caused by oleic acid (OA)-induced acute lung …

Aims Left ventricular filling pressure (preload) can be assessed by pulmonary capillary
wedge pressure (PCWP) during pulmonary arterial catheterization (PAC). An emerging …

We tested the hypothesis that the increased impedance to flow in canine oleic acid (OA)
lung injury is predominantly due to an increase in effective downstream pressure (EDP) …

We evaluated the importance of hypoxic vasoconstriction as a mechanism for pulmonary
blood flow reduction during unilobar oleic acid lung injury in dogs. Pulmonary blood flow …

Background: We hypothesized that in acute lung injury (ALI), the volume of pulmonary tissue
with aqueous density, as determined by spiral computed tomography (CT), is associated …
