Extravascular Lung Water Measurement
Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine, 2007Extravascular lung water (EVLW) is the term used to describe water within the lungs but outside the pulmonary vasculature. Excessive EVLW volume is a common and serious feature of critical illness. However, clinical assessment of the extent of pulmonary capillary leakage is difficult and inconsistent [1, 2].

Ultrasound Lung Comets: A Clinically Useful Sign of Extravascular Lung Water
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2006 Assessment of extravascular lung water is a challenging task for the clinical cardiologist and an elusive target for the echocardiographer. Today chest x-ray is considered the best way to assess extravascular lung water objectively, but this requires radiology facilities and specific reading expertise, uses ionizing energy, and poses a significant ...

Hyaluronan affects extravascular water in lungs of unanesthetized rabbits
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1989 We have determined whether changes in lung hyaluronan content affect extravascular water in lungs of unanesthetized rabbits. Three groups of experiments were performed. In group 1 (n = 12), no infusions were given; in group 2, nine pairs of rabbits received either intravenous hyaluronidase (750 U.kg-1.min-1) or an equivalent volume of saline; in group

Effect of histamine and propranolol on extravascular lung water
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1984 The ability of an intravenous infusion of 21 micrograms X kg-1 X min-1 histamine diphosphate to cause pulmonary edema was studied in dogs in which beta-blockade either was or was not in effect, since current evidence suggests that beta-blockade can prevent catecholamines from antagonizing the vascular permeability effect of histamine in the systemic ...

Extravascular lung water (idQw1) is measured in vivo from the difference in mean transit times, computed by extrapolating the dilution curves, of two indicators, one freely diffusible, the other confined to the intravascular space. Using 3H2O it has been shown that idQw1 is smaller than the amount of extravascular water obtained from the difference ...

Clinical Measurement of Extravascular Lung Water
Critical Care Clinics, 1986The thermal-dye technique for the measurement of ELW is available for clinical and experimental use. This method is safe and can be performed serially in an individual patient. Although it is invasive, it requires only a central venous catheter and an arterial catheter, which are often already in place for routine hemodynamic monitoring and management.

The introduction of transpulmonary thermodilution technique allowed us to estimate extravascular lung water (EVLW) and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) quantitatively at the bedside. The estimation of EVLW by transpulmonary thermodilution has thoroughly been validated in humans against gravimetry which is regarded as the gold standard. EVLW

Bedside Measurement of Extravascular Lung Water
1989Elevation of the hydrostatic pressure in the lung microcirculation and loss of integrity of the alveolo-capillary barrier are the pathogenetic mechanisms for the more common clinical forms of pulmonary edema. Despite that in recent years the knowledge of pulmonary edema etiology and pathogenesis has greatly increased, the detection and quantification ...
