Purpose With regard to large inter-individual variability of height, body weight (BW), and
age, several hemodynamic parameters are adjusted for biometric data. This also applies to …

Transpulmonary dilution-derived extravascular lung water as... : Current Opinion in Critical Care
Transpulmonary dilution-derived extravascular lung water as a measure of lung edema …

BACKGROUND: The transpulmonary thermodilution technique allows the determination of
cardiac preload (global end-diastolic volume index) and quantification of pulmonary edema …

Lung edema, the abnormal accumulation of water and solute in the extravascular space of
the lung, is a common finding in critically ill patients. Because of the clinical relevance of …

Thirty-five investigators representing the fields of anatomy, anesthesiology, biophysics, chest
medicine, nuclear medicine, pathology, physiology, radiology, and surgery met to discuss …

Histological and physiological evidence suggests that in pulmonary ooedema the sequence
of fluid accumulation in the lung is quantal (all-or-one). We have proposed that increased …

Background End-expiratory lung volume measurement by the nitrogen washin-washout
technique (EELV WI-WO) may help titrating positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during …

The diagnosis of pulmonary edema is frequently made from characteristic findings on the
chest roentgenogram that suggest an increase in lung water. Optimal radiographic …

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 …

Study objective (1) To explore the interaction between mechanical ventilation and oleic acid
(OA)-induced lung injury on indexes of pulmonary gas exchange and epithelial permeability …
