  • Title: Measurement of extravascular lung water--methods and clinical implications.
    Author: Leksell LG.
    Journal: Acta Anaesthesiol Scand Suppl; 1991; 95():81-5: discussion 85-6. PubMed ID: 1927232.
    Abstract:
    The estimation of changes in extravascular lung water during different experimental and clinical conditions forms an intriguing field of research. Present methods for the measurement of lung water are difficult to apply in day-to-day clinical practice. Most methods are not only low in accuracy and sensitivity but are also invasive. A new indicator-dilution technique using heavy water and indocyanine green as diffusible and nondiffusible indicators, respectively, may provide us with a new investigative method for longterm bedside estimation of lung water.
