Hemodynamic and Pulmonary Permeability Characterization of Hantavirus Cardiopulmonary Syndrome by Transpulmonary Thermodilution [PDF]
Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) is characterized by capillary leak, pulmonary edema (PE), and shock, which leads to death in up to 40% of patients.

New onset atrial fibrillation during orthotopic liver transplantation induced by iced saline injection for transpulmonary thermodilution: a case report [PDF]
Transpulmonary thermodilution is often used to measure extravascular lung water during liver transplantation. Here, the case of new onset atrial fibrillation during orthotopic liver transplantation, which may have been induced by iced saline injection ...

Aortic volume determines global end-diastolic volume measured by transpulmonary thermodilution [PDF]
Background Global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) measured by transpulmonary thermodilution is regarded as indicator of cardiac preload. A bolus of cold saline injected in a central vein travels through the heart and lung, but also the aorta until detection ...

Transpulmonary thermodilution in patients treated with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [PDF]
Background We tested the effect of different blood flow levels in the extracorporeal circuit on the measurements of cardiac stroke volume (SV), global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) and extravascular lung water index derived from transpulmonary ...

Sustained low efficiency dialysis should not be interrupted for performing transpulmonary thermodilution measurements [PDF]
Background Treatment of multiple organ failure frequently requires enhanced hemodynamic monitoring. When renal replacement is indicated, it remains unclear whether transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) measurements are influenced by renal replacement ...

Impact of large volume paracentesis on respiratory parameters including transpulmonary pressure and on transpulmonary thermodilution derived hemodynamics: A prospective study. [PDF]
Appropriate mechanical ventilation and prevention of alveolar collaps is mainly dependent on transpulmonary pressure TPP. TPP is assessed by measurement of esophageal pressure EP, largely influenced by pleural and intraabdominal pressure IAP ...

Comparison of noninvasive electrical cardiometry and transpulmonary thermodilution for cardiac output measurement in critically ill patients: a prospective observational study [PDF]
Background Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is essential for diagnosing and managing critically ill patients. Recently, a non-invasive haemodynamic monitoring technique, electrical cardiometry (EC), has gathered increasing interest among ICU physicians ...
