Utility of lung ultrasound for extravascular lung water volume estimation during cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy

open access: diamondIndian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2021
Background and Aims: Rising extravascular lung-water index (ELWI) following cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC), if not timely intervened, can progress to pulmonary oedema.

The Association Between Extravascular Lung Water and Critical Care Outcomes Following Bilateral Lung Transplantation [PDF]

open access: yesTransplantation Direct, 2022
Background. Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is a form of acute respiratory failure that complicates 30% of bilateral lung transplants. Higher grades of PGD correlate with higher severity of respiratory failure and unfavorable outcomes.
