Extravascular Lung Water and Acute Lung Injury [PDF]
Acute lung injury carries a high burden of morbidity and mortality and is characterised by nonhydrostatic pulmonary oedema. The aim of this paper is to highlight the role of accurate quantification of extravascular lung water in diagnosis, management ...

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