Background For complex patients in the intensive care unit or in the operating room, many
questions regarding their haemodynamic management cannot be answered with simple …

Extravascular lung water (EVLW) is the amount of fluid that is accumulated in the interstitial
and alveolar spaces. In lung oedema, EVLW increases either because of increased lung …

The transpulmonary thermodilution technique (TPTD) is a safe, multi-parametric advanced
cardiopulmonary monitoring technique that provides important parameters required for …

Care Extravascular lung water measurements in acute respiratory distress syndrome: why …

Introduction Transpulmonary thermodilution is used to measure cardiac output (CO), global
end-diastolic volume (GEDV) and extravascular lung water (EVLW). A system has been …

Background Lung ultrasonography (LUS) has been used for noninvasive detection of
pulmonary edema. Semiquantitative LUS visual scores (visual LUS [V-LUS]) based on B …

AWA provides a less invasive and easy-to-use alternative for CO measurement. The validity
of AWA devices has been verified in a variety of patients and circumstances, but their …

Hemodynamic monitoring and management has greatly improved during the past decade.
Technologies have evolved from very invasive to non-invasive, and the philosophy has …

Background: Haemodynamic monitoring with transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) is less
invasive than a pulmonary artery catheter, and is increasingly used in the Intensive Care …

Extravascular lung water (EVLW) could increase by permeability pulmonary oedema,
cardiogenic oedema, or both. Transthoracic echocardiography examination of a patient …
