  • Title: [Bedside determination of extravascular lung water].
    Author: Sturm JA, Lewis FR, Elings VB.
    Journal: Chir Forum Exp Klin Forsch; 1979; ():73-7. PubMed ID: 378599.
    Abstract:
    Extravascular lung water (EVLW) was measured at the bedside in 12 patients with the thermal-green dye double indicator dilution method using a microprocessor. The EVLW ranged from 3.3 to 17.2 ml/kg body weight; in patients without pulmonary problems we have found an average EVLW of 5.7 ml/kg body weight. The method involves easy calculations and is reproducible and accurate.
