Acute respiratory distress syndrome presents as hypoxia and bilateral pulmonary infiltrates
on chest imaging in the absence of heart failure sufficient to account for this clinical state …

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 …

Background There is no accurate, non-invasive measurement to estimate the degree of
pulmonary oedema in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We developed the …

Introduction Ultrasound of the lung and quantification of B lines was recently introduced as a
novel tool to detect overhydration. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate a four-region …

Pulmonary edema increasingly is recognized as a perioperative complication affecting
outcome. Several risk factors have been identified, including those of cardiogenic origin …

Background The prognostic value of extravascular lung water (EVLW) measured by
transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) in critically ill patients is debated. We performed a …

Background Increases in extravascular lung water (EVLW) can lead to respiratory failure.
This study aimed to investigate whether the B‐line score (BLS) was correlated with the …

Quantification of pulmonary edema and congestion is important to guide diagnosis and risk
stratification, and to objectively evaluate new therapies in heart failure. Herein, we review …

Aims: This study aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound for the
diagnosis of acute pulmonary edema by meta-analysis. Materials and methods: A systematic …
