Objective: To find out if the extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and the derived
permeability indexes determined by the single transpulmonary thermodilution technique are …

Objective To investigate the accuracy of lung ultrasonography (LUS) in the quantification of
lung water in critically ill patients by using quantitative computed tomography (CT) as the …

Background: Effective lung volume (ELV) for gas exchange is a new measure that could be
used as a real-time guide during controlled mechanical ventilation. The authors established …

Objectives: To review the advantages and limitations of dilution methods to assess
extravascular lung water (EVLW) at the bedside and to discuss the clinical value of EVLW …

The measurement of lung water by the thermal-dye double indicator dilution technique was
evaluated in dogs with normal and edematous lungs during a state of reduced cardiac …

MATERIALS AND METHODS The method, first described by Chinard and Enns (2) in 1954
and now used by many investigators (4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14), has been modified slightly for …

Objective. To compare a molecular double-indicator dilution technique with the gravimetrical
reference method for measurement of extra-vascular lung water in porcine endotoxin shock …

Objectives: Acute respiratory distress syndrome is characterized by diffuse alveolar damage
and increased extravascular lung water levels. However, there is no threshold extravascular …

To determine the effect of the type of lung injury on the thermodilution estimation of
extravascular lung water, we produced pulmonary edema in 25 anesthetized dogs by …

Background: This study evaluated the effects of protocol‐guided fluid loading on
extravascular lung water (EVLW) and hemodynamics in a group of patients at high risk for …
