Extravascular lung water (index)(EVLW (I)) can be estimated using transpulmonary
thermodilution (TPTD). Computed tomography (CT) with quantitative analysis of lung tissue …

Background: Detection of small (10–20%) increases in lung water may be relevant to detect
incipient pulmonary edema but no clinically usable method has demonstrated this capability …

Background: Lung edema can be influenced by hemodynamic changes in pulmonary
circulation. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in an experimental model of acute lung …

PURPOSE:: To analyze the accuracy of the transpulmonary thermodilution method in the
determination of extravascular lung water (EVLW). MATERIAL AND METHODS:: Acute lung …

Extravascular lung water (EVLW) is the amount of fluid that is accumulated in the interstitial
and alveolar spaces. In lung oedema, EVLW increases either because of increased lung …

NEWSPAPER headlines have greeted with circumspection the report from the Government
Accountability Office on the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) processes to regulate …

Objective The double indicator method is sensitive to alterations in the distribution of
pulmonary blood flow. This distribution is influenced by the type of lung injury. The aim of …

Objectives: To compare the single thermal indicator dilution (STID) technique for
measurement of extravascular lung water (EVLW STID) with gravimetrically determined …

Acute lung injury carries a high burden of morbidity and mortality and is characterised by
nonhydrostatic pulmonary oedema. The aim of this paper is to highlight the role of accurate …

Extravascular lung water (EVLW) was estimated in 53 critically ill patients by the chest
radiograph (CXR) and the thermal dye technique. The comparison between these two …
