Extravascular 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 کاملA simplified lung ultrasound approach to detect increased extravascular lung water in critically ill patients
BACKGROUND The quantification of B-lines at lung ultrasonography is a valid tool to estimate the extravascular lung water (EVLW) in patients after major cardiac surgery. However, there is still uncertainty about the correlation between B-lines and EVLW in a general population of critically ill. AIM To evaluate a simplified lung ultrasonographic assessment as a tool to estimate the EVLW in cri...
متن کاملLung ultrasound is a reliable method for evaluating extravascular lung water volume in rodents
BACKGROUND Lung ultrasound (LUS) can diagnose extravacular lung water (EVLW) through the visualization of B lines in both humans and large animals. However, there are no published data on the use of ultrasound to detect EVLW in rats, the gold standard to evaluate of EVLW in rats is post-mortem gravimetric analysis. The present study was designed to determine the similarity between lung sonograp...
متن کاملSimplified lung ultrasound protocol shows excellent prediction of extravascular lung water in ventilated intensive care patients
INTRODUCTION Ultrasound of the lung and quantification of B lines was recently introduced as a novel tool to detect overhydration. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate a four-region protocol of lung ultrasound to determine the pulmonary fluid status in ventilated patients in the intensive care unit. METHODS Fifty patients underwent both lung ultrasound and transpulmonary thermodilution ...
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...
