Calculation of the normal range of extravascular lung water
comment on our study [1]. We regret that we did not provide the number of patients with normal lung (NL) and the equation for EVLW and lung weight. We are glad to provide these details now. Nine patients had NL and 21 had lungs heavier than NL (HL). We observed a close correlation between EVLW and postmortem lung weight in both groups (NL, r = 0.78, P < 0.05; HL, r = 0.83, P < 0.01). Th e linea...
متن کاملExtravascular Lung Water and Acute Lung Injury
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, and prognosis in "acute lung injury" and "acute respiratory distress syndrome". Several studies have verified the accuracy of both the single and...
متن کاملExtravascular lung water in the exercising horse.
Seven Standardbred horses were exercised on a treadmill at speeds (approximately 12 m/s) producing maximal heart rate, hypoxemia, and a mean pulmonary arterial pressure of approximately 75 mmHg. Extravascular lung water was measured by using transients in temperature and electrical impedance of the blood caused by a bolus injection of cold saline solution. Lung water was approximately 3 ml/kg b...
متن کاملStatistical uncertainty estimation in the calculation of the proton range in water phantom.
Introduction: GATE (Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission) is a Monte Carlo simulation platform developed by the OpenGATE collaboration since 2001 and first publicly released in 2004. In Geant4, each physics process is described by a model (several models are sometimes available for a given physics process) and a corresponding cross-section table. All Geant4 physics model...
