A variety of techniques have been suggested for the early detection of EVLW accumulation,
which may culminate in lung edema. These methods are listed in Table 1 accompanied by …

Backgroud Lung ultrasound (LUS) can diagnose extravacular lung water (EVLW) through
the visualization of B lines in both humans and large animals. However, there are no …

Background In critically ill patients intravascular volume status and pulmonary edema need
to be quantified as soon as possible. Many critically ill patients undergo a computed …

Objective: Pulmonary edema is a severe and often life-threatening condition. The diagnosis
of pulmonary edema and its quantification have great clinical significance and yet can be …

The availability for clinical use of a simple reliable method of determining extravascular lung
water (EVLW) provided us with the opportunity to evaluate the accuracy of the plain chest …

MEASUREMENT OF EXTRAVASCULAR lung water has been a topic of major interest for
more than two decades (1, 5, 19). In the recent article by Effros et al.(2), they provide a …

Methods: This observational and prospective study included consecutive patients with
hypotension or hypoxemia, comparing the therapeutic plan for fluid and vasoactive drug …

Background Studies using transthoracic thermodilution have demonstrated increased
extravascular lung water (EVLW) measurements attributed to progression of edema and …

BACKGROUND: The thermodilution curve assessed by transpulmonary thermodilution is the
basis for calculation of global end-diastolic volume index (GEDI) and extravascular lung …

Objective Measurement of extravascular lung water (EVLW) as a clinical tool for the
assessment of pulmonary function has been found to be more appropriate than oxygenation …
