Thermal dye double indicator dilution measurement of lung water in man: comparison with gravimetric measurements.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The thermal dye double indicator dilution technique for estimating lung water was compared with gravimetric analyses in nine human subjects who were organ donors. As observed in animal studies, the thermal dye measurement of extravascular thermal volume (EVTV) consistently overestimated gravimetric extravascular lung water (EVLW), the mean (SEM) difference being 3.43 (0.59) ml/kg. In eight of the nine subjects the EVTV -3.43 ml/kg would yield an estimate of EVLW that would be from 3.23 ml/kg under to 3.37 ml/kg over the actual value EVLW at the 95% confidence limits. Reproducibility, assessed with the standard error of the mean percentage, suggested that a 15% change in EVTV can be reliably detected with repeated measurements. One subject was excluded from analysis because the EVTV measurement grossly underestimated its actual EVLW. This error was associated with regional injury observed on gross examination of the lung. Experimental and clinical evidence suggest that the thermal dye measurement provides a reliable estimate of lung water in diffuse pulmonary oedema states.

The effects of norepinephrine-induced vasoconstriction on pulmonary extravascular water volume (PEWV) and central volume were studied before and after intravenous volume expansion with 5% dextrose and water (20 ml/kg body weight). PEWV was measured by double isotope dilution and gravimetric analysis and assessed by electron photomicrography. Comparisons were made with saline-treated control dog...

The effect of mechanical ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure on the resolution of hydrostatic pulmonary oedema created by temporary left atrial balloon inflation was studied in mechanically ventilated dogs. Immediately after the hydrostatic process was terminated, by deflating the left atrial balloon, the animals were ventilated for 4 h with zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP, n =...
متن کاملAccuracy and limits of transpulmonary dilution methods in estimating extravascular lung water after pneumonectomy.
STUDY OBJECTIVES The measurement of extravascular lung water index by double indicator (EVLWIdi) or the measurement of extravascular lung water index by transpulmonary thermodilution (EVLWItt) could be useful after pneumonectomy. Since pulmonary blood flow and volume are altered after pneumonectomy, the validity of these methods is uncertain. This study has compared measurements of EVLWIdi and ...
