Background: We hypothesized that in acute lung injury (ALI), the volume of pulmonary tissue
with aqueous density, as determined by spiral computed tomography (CT), is associated …

Lung fluid balance was studied in 27 mongrel dogs by measuring changes in extravascular
lung water content (EVLW). The expression delta EVLWi, which is the difference in EVLWi …

In 11 supine dogs, we related regional lung water concentration (rLWC) measurements
made with positron emission tomography (PET) after canine oleic acid (OA)-induced acute …

Extravascular lung water (EVLW) and central blood volume (CBV) were measured in 13
dogs with a double‐indicator dilution technique (dye‐cold), the indicators being detected …

Objective: To compare the single thermodilution and the thermal-dye dilution techniques
with postmortem gravimetry for assessment of changes in extravascular lung water after …

Background Bedside assessment of lung volume in clinical practice is crucial to adapt
ventilation strategy. We compared bedside measures of lung volume by helium multiple …

Background Acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) are
characterized by pulmonary oedema, measured as extravascular lung water (EVLW). The …

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

Study objective Arterial thermal dilution with an integrated fiberoptic monitoring system
(COLD Z-021; Pulsion Medical Systems; Munich, Germany) allows measurement of …

Objective: The in-vitro validation of a computed tomographic (CT) software specifically
designed for quantifying the volume of water contained in the lung. Design: An in-vitro, ex …
