Transthoracic Bioimpedance Can Measure Extravascular Lung Water in Acute Lung Injury
Journal of Surgical Research, 1996We used a porcine endotoxemic model of acute lung injury to compare extravascular lung water (EVLW) measured by right transthoracic bioimpedance to postmortem gravimetric EVLW measurements. Adult pigs were randomized into control (N = 5) or endotoxin groups [150 microgram/kg Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide B for 1 hr followed by 3 hr of ...

Extravascular lung water after pneumonectomy and one-lung ventilation in sheep
Critical Care Medicine, 2007To compare the single thermodilution and the thermal-dye dilution techniques with postmortem gravimetry for assessment of changes in extravascular lung water after pneumonectomy and to explore the evolution of edema after injurious ventilation of the left lung.Experimental study.University laboratory.A total of 30 sheep weighing 35.6 +/- 4.6 kg.

Theoretical and practical considerations of measuring extravascular lung water
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1988The volume of extravascular lung water is currently measured in vivo from the difference in mean transit times of the extrapolated first-pass dilution curves of two indicators, one diffusible and the other confined to the intravascular space. To overcome the limitations of this method, one can prolong the measurement interval, introduce a highly ...

Hyaluronan affects extravascular water in lungs of unanesthetized rabbits
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1989We 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

[Bedside determination of extravascular lung water].
Chirurgisches Forum fur experimentelle und klinische Forschung, 1979Extravascular lung water (EVLW) was measured at the bedside in 12 patients with the thermal-green dye double indicator dilution method using a microprocessor. The EVLW ranged from 3.3 to 17.2 ml/kg body weight; in patients without pulmonary problems we have found an average EVLW of 5.7 ml/kg body weight.

Clinical Utility of Extravascular Lung Water Measurements
2009In physiological conditions, the hydrostatic pressure of the pulmonary microvessels induces the transfer of a certain amount of fluid into the interstitial space. The lymphatic system drains this large amount of fluid toward the thoracic duct, avoiding alveolar edema.

Exercise, extravascular lung water, and gas exchange
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2002To the Editor: The article by Wilkins et al. ([3][1]) contains much data of interest, prompting two comments. First, the lack of increase in detectable lung water is entirely compatible with the essential preservation of ventilation-perfusion (V˙a/Q˙) relationships with exercise reported in ...

Extravascular lung water in ARDS patients.
Minerva anestesiologica, 2013Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common entity in critical care medicine and associated with many diagnoses, including trauma and sepsis, which may lead to multiple organ failure and death. Pathophysiologically, increased capillary permeability is the hallmark of ARDS which is characterized by damage of the capillary endothelium and ...
