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 …

Objective: To investigate factors that may influence the estimation of extravascular lung
water (EVLW) with a single (cold) indicator compared with assessment using two indicators …

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 …

Objective: The accuracy of single thermodilution was assessed in measuring extravascular
lung water (EVLW) and intrathoracic blood volume (ITBV). Design: Single thermodilution …

We measured extravascular lung water (EVLW) by the thermal-dye technique in a broad
group of critically ill patients who had either acute cardiac or noncardiac illnesses. A …

Objective To test whether assessing pulmonary permeability by transpulmonary
thermodilution enables to differentiate increased permeability pulmonary edema (ALI/ARDS) …

Extravascular lung water (EVLW) has been measured sequentially in 12 patients by the
thermal-green dye double-indicator dilution technique. EVLW referenced to body weight has …

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 …

Extravascular lung water includes all of the fluid within the lung but outside of the
vasculature. Lung water increases as a result of increased hydrostatic vascular pressure or …

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