Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Excessive accumulation of extravascular lung water (EVLW) resulting in pulmonary edema is the most feared complication following thoracic surgery and lung transplant. ICUs have long relied on chest radiography to monitor pulmonary status postoperatively but the increasing recognition of the limitations of bedside plain films has fueled development of newer technologies, which offer earlier detection, quantitative assessments, and can aide in preoperative screening of surgical candidates. In this review, we focus on the emergence of transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) and lung ultrasound with a focus on the clinical integration of these modalities into current intraoperative and critical care practices. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies demonstrate transpulmonary thermodilution and lung ultrasound provide greater sensitivity and earlier detection of lung water accumulation and are useful to guide clinical management. Assessments from these techniques have predictive value of postoperative outcome. Further, EVLW assessment shows promise as a preoperative screening tool in lung transplant patients. SUMMARY Monitoring EVLW in the perioperative period offers clinicians a powerful tool to guide fluid therapy and manage pulmonary edema. Both TPTD and lung ultrasound have unique attributes in the care of thoracic surgery and lung transplant patients.

Risk factors and the associated limit values for abnormal elevation of extravascular lung water in severely burned adults. Burns 2018; 45:849-859. [PMID: 30527647 DOI: 10.1016/j.burns.2018.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2018] [Revised: 10/18/2018] [Accepted: 11/14/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased extravascular lung water (EVLW) correlates with pulmonary morbidity and mortality in critical illness. The extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), which reflects the degree of EVLW in an individual, increases in the fluid reabsorption stage rather than the initial resuscitation stage in severe burn cases. While many factors contribute to EVLWI variation, the risk factors contributing to its abnormal elevation in severe burns remain unclear. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors and associated limit values for abnormal elevation of EVLWI during the fluid reabsorption stage in a cohort of severely burned adults. METHOD This prospective, single-center study included only adults with burn sizes≥50% of the total body surface area (TBSA) who were admitted within 24h after burn. Demographic data were collected, and transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) measurements and blood biochemistry tests were performed upon admission and up to day (PBD) 9. Risk factors for abnormal EVLWI were analyzed by logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to determine the optimal cut-offs for each risk factor. RESULTS Seventy-two patients were ultimately enrolled, with a mean age of 40.3 years and mean burn size of 69.4% TBSA. EVLWI began to abnormally increase (>7ml/kg) on day 3 and up to PBD 9, indicating that a supranormal EVLWI developed in the fluid reabsorption stage. Several relevant factors were considered, including patient age, burn size, intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI), pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI), cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), serum albumin, time of first excision and grafting, and number of operations and daily fluid administration. Among these factors, we found that only burn size and ITBVI were significantly correlated with EVLWI variation and were further identified as the independent risk factors for EVLWI abnormality. ROC analysis showed that the limits for predicting a supranormal EVLWI during the fluid reabsorption stage were 65.5% TBSA for burn size and 845ml/m2 for ITBVI. Patients with burn sizes or ITBVIs higher than the limit showed significantly longer mechanical ventilation time and substantially higher occurrences of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and pneumonia within two weeks after burn. CONCLUSIONS Burn size and ITBVI are the independent risk factors for EVLWI abnormality during the fluid reabsorption stage in severely burned adults. The limit values for predicting a supranormal EVLWI in those patients are 65.5% TBSA for burn size and 845ml/m2 for ITBVI.

The Variation of Hemodynamic Parameters Through PiCCO in the Early Stage After Severe Burns. J Burn Care Res 2018; 38:e966-e972.

Abstract
To investigate early hemodynamics of severely burned patients via PiCCO and to discuss clinical significance of hemodynamic monitoring for burn shock resuscitation, 55 extensive burn patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. The fluid resuscitation was guided according to Chinese General Formula and adjusted with urinary output of 0.5-1.0 ml/h/kg as a resuscitation goal. All patients were diagnosed within a relatively stable condition during burn shock stage, and they received PiCCO monitoring within 6 hours after burn. The preload parameter intrathoracic blood volume index was low at first, then returned to normal. The flow parameter cardiac index and myocardial contractility parameter dPmax were gradually changed from low level in the early stage to high level in the fluid reabsorption stage. The afterload parameter systemic vascular resistance index had completely opposite tendency. The lung-related parameters extravascular lung water index and pulmonary vascular permeability index were roughly in the normal range. The change of cardiac index had a linear regression relationship with dPmax and systemic vascular resistance index but had no significant relationship with intrathoracic blood volume index. Under effective fluid resuscitation, the early hemodynamics after burn is still in dynamically changing status, characterized as transition from low cardiac output (CO)-high vascular resistance in early shock stage to high CO-low vascular resistance in fluid reabsorption stage. CO mainly depends on the myocardial contractility and vascular resistance, but not on the blood volume. Excessive fluid resuscitation cannot get normal CO. The normal value of hemodynamics cannot be used as end point of burn shock resuscitation. Dynamic observation of hemodynamics is of great importance.

Quantitative computed tomography in comparison with transpulmonary thermodilution for the estimation of pulmonary fluid status: a clinical study in critically ill patients. J Clin Monit Comput 2018; 33:5-12. [PMID: 29680878 DOI: 10.1007/s10877-018-0144-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2017] [Accepted: 04/16/2018] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Extravascular lung water (index) (EVLW(I)) can be estimated using transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD). Computed tomography (CT) with quantitative analysis of lung tissue density has been proposed to quantify pulmonary edema. We compared variables of pulmonary fluid status assessed using quantitative CT and TPTD in critically ill patients. In 21 intensive care unit patients, we performed TPTD measurements directly before and after chest CT. Based on the density data of segmented CT images we calculated the tissue volume (TV), tissue volume index (TVI), and the mean weighted index of voxel aqueous density (VMWaq). CT-derived TV, TVI, and VMWaq did not predict TPTD-derived EVLWI values ≥ 14 mL/kg. There was a significant moderate positive correlation between VMWaq and mean EVLWI (EVLWI before and after CT) (r = 0.45, p = 0.042) and EVLWI after CT (r = 0.49, p = 0.025) but not EVLWI before CT (r = 0.38, p = 0.086). There was no significant correlation between TV and EVLW before CT, EVLW after CT, or mean EVLW. There was no significant correlation between TVI and EVLWI before CT, EVLWI after CT, or mean EVLWI. CT-derived variables did not predict elevated TPTD-derived EVLWI values. In unselected critically ill patients, variables of pulmonary fluid status assessed using quantitative CT cannot be used to predict EVLWI.

Abstract
Background Tetrastarch can cause acute kidney injury (AKI) in humans with sepsis, but less likely to result in tissue edema than lactated Ringer's solution (LRS). Objectives Compare effects of volume replacement (VR) with LRS and 6% tetrastarch solution (TS) on extravascular lung water (EVLW) and markers of AKI in hemorrhaged dogs. Animals Six healthy English Pointer dogs (19.7–35.3 kg). Methods Prospective crossover study. Animals underwent anesthesia without hemorrhage (Control). Two weeks later, dogs hemorrhaged under anesthesia on 2 occasions (8‐week washout intervals) and randomly received VR with LRS or TS at 3 : 1 or 1 : 1 of shed blood, respectively. Anesthesia was maintained until 4 hour after VR for EVLW measurements derived from transpulmonary thermodilution cardiac output. Neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin (NGAL) and creatinine concentrations in plasma and urine were measured until 72 hour after VR. Results The EVLW index (mL/kg) was lower at 1 hour after TS (10.0 ± 1.9) in comparison with controls (11.9 ± 3.4, P = 0.04), and at 4 hour after TS (9.7 ± 1.9) in comparison with LRS (11.8 ± 2.7, P = 0.03). Arterial oxygen partial pressure‐to‐inspired oxygen fraction ratio did not differ among treatments from 0.5 to 4 hour after VR. Urine NGAL/creatinine ratio did not differ among treatments and remained below threshold for AKI (120,000 pg/mg). Conclusions and Clinical Importance Although TS causes less EVLW accumulation than LRS, neither fluid produced evidence of lung edema (impaired oxygenation). Both fluids appear not to cause AKI when used for VR after hemorrhage in healthy nonseptic dogs.

Abstract
Pulmonary edema increasingly is recognized as a perioperative complication affecting outcome. Several risk factors have been identified, including those of cardiogenic origin, such as heart failure or excessive fluid administration, and those related to increased pulmonary capillary permeability secondary to inflammatory mediators. Effective treatment requires prompt diagnosis and early intervention. Consequently, over the past 2 centuries a concentrated effort to develop clinical tools to rapidly diagnose pulmonary edema and track response to treatment has occurred. The ideal properties of such a tool would include high sensitivity and specificity, easy availability, and the ability to diagnose early accumulation of lung water before the development of the full clinical presentation. In addition, clinicians highly value the ability to precisely quantify extravascular lung water accumulation and differentiate hydrostatic from high permeability etiologies of pulmonary edema. In this review, advances in understanding the physiology of extravascular lung water accumulation in health and in disease and the various mechanisms that protect against the development of pulmonary edema under physiologic conditions are discussed. In addition, the various bedside modalities available to diagnose early accumulation of extravascular lung water and pulmonary edema, including chest auscultation, chest roentgenography, lung ultrasonography, and transpulmonary thermodilution, are examined. Furthermore, advantages and limitations of these methods for the operating room and intensive care unit that are critical for proper modality selection in each individual case are explored.

Abstract
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 clinical examination. In particular, arterial pressure allows only a rough estimation of cardiac output. Transpulmonary thermodilution is a technique that provides a full haemodynamic assessment through cardiac output and other indices. Main body Through the analysis of the thermodilution curve recorded at the tip of an arterial catheter after the injection of a cold bolus in the venous circulation, transpulmonary thermodilution intermittently measures cardiac output. This measure allows the calibration of pulse contour analysis. This provides continuous and real time monitoring of cardiac output, which is not possible with the pulmonary artery catheter. Transpulmonary thermodilution provides several variables beyond cardiac output. It estimates the end-diastolic volume of the four cardiac cavities, which is a marker of cardiac preload. It provides an estimation of the systolic function of the combined ventricles. It is more direct than the pulmonary artery catheter, but does not allow the distinct estimation of right and left cardiac function. It is easier and faster to perform than echocardiography, but does not provide a full evaluation of the cardiac structure and function. Transpulmonary thermodilution has the unique advantage of being able to estimate at the bedside extravascular lung water, which quantifies the volume of pulmonary oedema, and pulmonary vascular permeability, which quantifies the degree of a pulmonary capillary leak. Both indices are helpful for guiding fluid strategy, especially in case of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusions Transpulmonary thermodilution provides a full cardiovascular evaluation that allows one to answer many questions regarding haemodynamic management. It belongs to the category of “advanced” devices that are indicated for the most critically ill and/or complex patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After lung transplantation (LT), early prediction of grade 3 pulmonary graft dysfunction (PGD) remains a research gap for clinicians. We hypothesized that it could be improved using extravascular lung water (EVLWi) and plasma biomarkers of acute lung injury. METHODS After institutional review board approval and informed consent, consecutive LT recipients were included. Transpulmonary thermodilution-based EVLWi, plasma concentrations of epithelial (soluble receptor for advanced glycation endproducts [sRAGE]) and endothelial biomarkers (soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and endocan [full-length and cleaved p14 fragment]) were obtained before and after LT (0 [H0], 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after pulmonary artery unclamping). Grade 3 PGD was defined according to the International Society for Lung and Heart Transplantation definition, combining arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2)/inspired fraction of oxygen (FiO2) ratio and chest X-rays. Association of clinical risk factors, EVLWi and biomarkers with grade 3 PGD was analyzed under the Bayesian paradigm, using logistic model and areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs). RESULTS In 47 LT recipients, 10 developed grade 3 PGD, which was obvious at H6 in 8 cases. Clinical risk factors, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and endocan (both forms) were not associated with grade 3 PGD. Significant predictors of grade 3 PGD included (1) EVLWi (optimal cutoff, 13.7 mL/kg; AUC, 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48-0.99), (2) PaO2/FiO2 ratio (optimal cutoff, 236; AUC, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.52-0.84), and (3) sRAGE (optimal cutoff, 11 760 pg/mL; AUC, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.41-0.91) measured at H0. CONCLUSIONS Immediate postreperfusion increases in EVLWi and sRAGE along with impaired PaO2/FiO2 ratios were early predictors of grade 3 PGD at or beyond 6 hours and may trigger early therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Context: The primary goal of septic shock management is optimization of organ perfusion, often at the risk of overloading the interstitium and causing pulmonary edema. The conventionally used end points of resuscitation do not generally include volumetric parameters such as extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI). Aims: This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of EVLWI and PVPI by calculating their correlation with the severity of lung injury. Settings and Design: This prospective observational study included twenty mechanically ventilated critically ill patients with Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation score (APACHE II) >20. Subjects and Methods: EVLWI and PVPI were measured using transpulmonary thermodilution, and simultaneously, PaO2:FiO2 ratio, alveolar-arterial gradient of oxygen (AaDO2), and chest radiograph scores from two radiologists were obtained. Statistical Analysis: The correlation of EVLWI and PVPI with chest radiograph scores, PaO2:FiO2 ratio, and AaDO2 were calculated. The inter-observer agreement between the two radiologists was tested using kappa test. Results: EVLWI and PVPI correlated modestly with PaO2:FiO2 (r = −0.32, P = 0.0004; r = −0.39, P = 0.0001). There was a better correlation of EVLWI and PVPI with PaO2:FiO2 ratio (r = −0.71, P < 0.0001; r = −0.58, P = 0.0001) in the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) subgroup. The EVLWI values correlated significantly with corresponding chest radiograph scores (r = 0.71, P < 0.0001 for observer 1 and r = 0.68, P < 0.0001 for observer 2). Conclusions: EVLWI and PVPI may have a prognostic significance in the assessment of lung injury in septic shock patients with ARDS. Further research is required to reveal the usefulness of EVLWI as an end point of fluid resuscitation in the management of septic shock with ARDS.

Abstract
In patients with sepsis and septic shock, the hemodynamic management in both early and later phases of these "organ dysfunction syndromes" is a key therapeutic component. It needs, however, to be differentiated between "early goal-directed therapy" (EGDT) as proposed for the first 6 hours of emergency department treatment by Rivers et al. in 2001 and "hemodynamic management" using advanced hemodynamic monitoring in the intensive care unit (ICU). Recent large trials demonstrated that nowadays protocolized EGDT does not seem to be superior to "usual care" in terms of a reduction in mortality in emergency department patients with early identified septic shock who promptly receive antibiotic therapy and fluid resuscitation. "Hemodynamic management" comprises (a) making the diagnosis of septic shock as one differential diagnosis of circulatory shock, (b) assessing the hemodynamic status including the identification of therapeutic conflicts, and (c) guiding therapeutic interventions. We propose two algorithms for hemodynamic management using transpulmonary thermodilution-derived variables aiming to optimize the cardiocirculatory and pulmonary status in adult ICU patients with septic shock. The complexity and heterogeneity of patients with septic shock implies that individualized approaches for hemodynamic management are mandatory. Defining individual hemodynamic target values for patients with septic shock in different phases of the disease must be the focus of future studies.

Abstract
Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is an extracorporeal treatment with reported beneficial as well as detrimental effects on circulation. However, there is a lack of data using advanced hemodynamic monitoring during TPE. Therefore, we investigated the effects of TPE on hemodynamic parameters derived from transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) as well as the risk for transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). We compared hemodynamic parameters obtained before and after a total of 30 sessions of TPE treatment in 10 intensive care unit patients. Among standard hemodynamic parameters, heart rate (P < 0.012) and systolic blood pressure (P < 0.008) significantly increase, whereas neither mean arterial pressure nor diastolic blood pressure was altered after TPE. The TPTD-derived cardiac function parameters, cardiac index (CI; P = 0.035), cardiac power index (CPI; P = 0.008), global ejection fraction (GEF; P = 0.002), and stroke volume index (SVI; P = 0.014), were significantly higher after TPE. Furthermore, systemic vascular index significantly increased (P < 0.042). Among the cardiac preload parameters, central venous pressure was significantly lower after TPE (P < 0.001), while the global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) did not change. Contractility marker dPmax did not change. Finally, TPE application did not significantly alter the pulmonary hydration and permeability parameters, extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and pulmonary vascular permeability index. Vasopressor dose was not statistically significantly altered. Considering increases in SVI, CI, GEF, and CPI and stable values for GEDVI, EVLWI, and dPmax, our data do not give any hint for hemodynamic impairment or TRALI.

J Crit Care 2016; 33:106-13. [PMID: 27021852 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrc.2016.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2015] [Revised: 02/09/2016] [Accepted: 02/14/2016] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSES To explore whether extravascular lung water (EVLW) provides a valuable prognostic tool guiding fluid therapy in septic shock patients after initial resuscitation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective study of septic shock patients who achieved adequate initial fluid resuscitation with extended hemodynamic monitoring, analyzing the prognostic value of EVLW and whether fluid therapy for 24 (T24) or 24-48 hours (T24-48) after initial resuscitation with a recommended value of EVLW yielded a 28-day mortality advantage. RESULTS One hundred five patients with septic shock were included in this study, 60 (57.1%) of whom died after 28 days. For 48 hours after initial resuscitation, the daily fluid balance (DFB; T24: 2494 ± 1091 vs 1965 ± 964 mL [P = .011] and T24-48: 2127 ± 783 vs 1588 ± 665 mL [P < .001]) and daily maximum values of the EVLW index (EVLWImax; T24: 13.9 ± 3.7 vs 11.5 ± 3.2 mL/kg [P < .001] and T24-48: 14.4 ± 5.3 vs 12.0 ± 4.4 mL/kg [P < .001]) were significantly higher in nonsurvivors than in survivors. In multivariate regression analysis, the DFB (T24: odds ratio [OR] 1.001 [P = .016] and T24-48: OR 1.001 [P = .008]), EVLWImax (T24: OR 2.158 [P = .002] and T24-48: OR 3.277 [P = .001]), blood lactate (T24: OR 1.368 [P = .021] and T24-48: OR 4.112 [P < .001]), and central venous blood oxygen saturation (T24: OR 0.893 [P = .013] and T24-48: OR 0.780 [P = .004]) were all independently associated with the 28-day mortality. A receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that area under the curve values of 0.82 (95% confidence interval, 0.74-0.91; P < .001) and 0.90 (95% confidence interval, 0.83-0.96; P < .001) for EVLWImax ≥ 12.5 mL/kg (T24 and T24-48) predicted a 28-day mortality with sensitivities of 88% (80%-96%) and 95% (90%-100%) and specificities of 60% (46%-74%) and 76% (63%-89%).The EVLWImax was correlated with DFB with Spearman ρ values of 0.497 (T24: P < .001) and 0.650 (T24-48: P < .001). Cox survival and regression analyses demonstrated that EVLWImax ≥ 12.5 mL/kg (T24 and T24-48) was associated with higher risk and increased mortality, with adjusted ORs of 4.77 (P < .001) and 10.86 (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS A higher EVLW in septic shock patients after initial resuscitation was associated with a more positive fluid balance and increased mortality, which is an independent predictor of the 28-day mortality in septic shock patients after initial resuscitation.

Abstract
Background: Central venous pressure (CVP) assesses the volume status of patients. However, this technique is not without complications. We, therefore, measured peripheral venous pressure (PVP) to see whether it can replace CVP. Aims: To evaluate the correlation and agreement between CVP and PVP after passive leg raise (PLR) in critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation. Setting and Design: Prospective observational study in Intensive Care Unit. Methods: Fifty critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation were included in the study. CVP and PVP measurements were taken using a water column manometer. Measurements were taken in the supine position and subsequently after a PLR of 45°. Statistical Analysis: Pearson's correlation and Bland–Altman's analysis. Results: This study showed a fair correlation between CVP and PVP after a PLR of 45° (correlation coefficient, r = 0.479; P = 0.0004) when the CVP was <10 cmH2O. However, the correlation was good when the CVP was >10 cmH2O. Bland–Altman analysis showed 95% limits of agreement to be −2.912–9.472. Conclusion: PVP can replace CVP for guiding fluid therapy in critically ill patients.

Abstract
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 permeability or because of increased hydrostatic pressure in the pulmonary capillaries, or both. Increased EVLW is always potentially life-threatening, mainly because it impairs gas exchange and reduces lung compliance. The only technique that provides an easy measurement of EVLW at the bedside is transpulmonary thermodilution. The validation of EVLW measurements by thermodilution was based on studies showing reasonable correlations with gravimetry or thermo-dye dilution in experimental and clinical studies. EVLW should be indexed to predicted body weight. This indexation reduces the proportion of ARDS patients for whom EVLW is in the normal range. Compared to non-indexed EVLW, indexed EVLW (EVLWI) is better correlated with the lung injury score and the oxygenation and it is a better predictor of mortality of patients with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Transpulmonary thermodilution also provides the pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI), which is an indirect reflection of the integrity of the alveolocapillary barrier. As clinical applications, EVLWI and PVPI may be useful to guide fluid management of patients at risk of fluid overload, as during septic shock and ARDS. High EVLWI and PVPI values predict mortality in several categories of critically ill patients, especially during ARDS. Thus, fluid administration should be limited when EVLWI is already high. Whatever the value of EVLWI, PVPI may indicate that fluid administration is particularly at risk of aggravating lung oedema. In the acute phase of haemodynamic resuscitation during septic shock and ARDS, high EVLWI and PVPI values may warn of the risk of fluid overload and prevent excessive volume expansion. At the post-resuscitation phase, they may prompt initiation of fluid removal thereby achieving a negative fluid balance.

Abstract
The accuracy and reproducibility of transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTd) to assess cardiac output (Q̇) in exercising men was determined using indocyanine green (ICG) dilution as a reference method. TPTd has been utilized for the assessment of Q̇ and preload indexes of global end-diastolic volume and intrathoracic blood volume, as well as extravascular lung water (EVLW) in resting humans. It remains unknown if this technique is also accurate and reproducible during exercise. Sixteen healthy men underwent catheterization of the right femoral vein (for iced saline injection), an antecubital vein (ICG injection), and femoral artery (thermistor) to determine their Q̇ by TPTd and ICG concentration during incremental one- and two-legged pedaling on a cycle ergometer and combined arm cranking with leg pedaling to exhaustion. There was a close relationship between TPTd-Q̇ and ICG-Q̇ ( r = 0.95, n = 151, standard error of the estimate: 1.452 l/min, P < 0.001; mean difference of 0.06 l/min; limits of agreement −2.98 to 2.86 l/min), and TPTd-Q̇ and ICG-Q̇ increased linearly with oxygen uptake with similar intercepts and slopes. Both methods had mean coefficients of variation close to 5% for Q̇, global end-diastolic volume, and intrathoracic blood volume. The mean coefficient of variation of EVLW, assessed with both indicators (ICG and thermal) was 17% and was sensitive enough to detect a reduction in EVLW of 107 ml when changing from resting supine to upright exercise. In summary, TPTd with bolus injection into the femoral vein is an accurate and reproducible method to assess Q̇ during exercise in humans.

Abstract
Background To assess the value of a score-based system which allows standardized evaluation of pulmonary edema on bedside chest radiographs (CXRs) under routine clinical conditions. Methods Seven experienced readers assessed bedside CXRs of ten patients with an extravascular lung water (EVLW)-value of ≤ 8 mL/kg (range: 4–8 mL/kg; indicates no pulmonary edema) and a series of ten patients with an EVLW-value of ≥ 15 mL/kg (range: 15–21 mL/kg; = indicates a pulmonary edema) with and without customized software which would permit a standardized assessment of the various indications of pulmonary edema. The software provides a score that identifies patients with and without pulmonary edema. EVLW-values were measured instantly after bedside CXR imaging using a pulse contour cardiac output (PiCCO) system and served as a reference standard. The patients were non-traumatic and not treated with diuretics or dobutamine during bedside CXR imaging and the PiCCO measurements. Mean sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, the percentage of overall agreement and the free-marginal multirater kappa value was calculated for both the standard and the standardized score-based approach. The net reclassification index was calculated for each reader as well as for all readers. Results Evaluation of bedside CXRs by means of the score-based approach took longer (23 ± 12 seconds versus 7 ± 3 seconds without the use of the software) but improved radiologists’ sensitivity (from 57 to 77%), specificity (from 90 to 100%) and the free-marginal multirater kappa value (from 0.34 to 0.68). The positive predictive value was raised from 85 to 100% and the negative predictive value from 68 to 81%. A net reclassification index of 0.3 (all readers) demonstrates an improvement in prediction performance gained by the score-based approach. The percentage of overall agreement was 67% with the standard approach and 84% with the software-based approach. Conclusions The diagnostic accuracy of bedside CXRs to discriminate patients with elevated EVLW-values from those with a normal value can be improved with the use of a standardized score-based approach. The investigated system is freely available as a web-based application (accessible via: http://www.radiologie.uk-erlangen.de/aerzte-und-zuweiser/edema).

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate whether a maneuver for repeated cycles of collapse and reexpansion of the operative lung, termed "intermittent reinflation" (IR), to counter hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation (OLV), results in a time-dependent alteration of extravascular lung water. DESIGN Prospective, randomized clinical study. SETTING Operating room and postsurgical intensive care unit of a university hospital. PATIENTS 36 ASA physical status 1 and 2 patients undergoing elective, video-assisted thoracic surgery for lung tumors. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Group C consisted of 18 patients whose nondependent lung was kept collapsed during OLV, while Group IR included 18 patients with IR that consisted of 4 separate, 10-second manual inflations and 5-second openings within one minute at intervals of 20 minutes during OLV. MEASUREMENTS Perioperative parameters included transcutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2), hemodynamic data, extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) as determined by the single-indicator transpulmonary thermodilution technique, and partial pressure of arterial oxygen/inspired oxygen fraction (PaO2/FIO2) ratio. MAIN RESULTS Group IR had significantly higher SpO2 at 20 minutes after commencement of OLV (98.9% vs 96.3%, P = 0.029) and average SpO2 throughout OLV (98.7% vs 97.0%, P = 0.020). Hemodynamic data, EVLWI, PVPI, and PaO2/FIO2 ratio did not differ between the groups, and there were no differences between groups in postoperative morbidity or hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS Intermittent reinflation had a beneficial effect on oxygenation during OLV, without any significant effects on EVLW or postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
Background Acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) are characterized by pulmonary oedema, measured as extravascular lung water (EVLW). The chest radiograph (CXR) can potentially estimate the quantity of lung oedema while the transpulmonary thermodilution method measures the amount of EVLW. This study was designed to determine whether EVLW as estimated by a CXR score predicts EVLW measured by the thermodilution method and whether changes in EVLW by either approach predict mortality in ALI/ARDS. Methods Clinical data were collected within 48 hours of ALI/ARDS diagnosis and daily up to 14 days on 59 patients with ALI/ARDS. Two clinicians scored each CXR for the degree of pulmonary oedema, using a validated method. EVLW indexed to body weight was measured using the single indicator transpulmonary thermodilution technique. Results The CXR score had a modest, positive correlation with the EVLWI measurements (r = 0.35, p < 0.001). There was a 1.6 ml/kg increase in EVLWI per 10-point increase in the CXR score (p < 0.001, 95% confidence interval 0.92-2.35). The sensitivity of a high CXR score for predicting a high EVLWI was 93%; similarly the negative predictive value was high at 94%; the specificity (51%) and positive predictive value (50%) were lower. The CXR scores did not predict mortality but the EVLW thermodilution did predict mortality. Conclusion EVLW measured by CXR was modestly correlated with thermodilution measured EVLW. Unlike CXR findings, transpulmonary thermodilution EVLWI measurements over time predicted mortality in patients with ALI/ARDS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extravascular lung water is a quantitative marker of the amount of fluid in the thoracic cavity besides the vasculature. Indexing to both predicted and actual body weight have been proposed to compare different individuals and provide a uniform range of normal. OBJECTIVE We explored extravascular lung water measured by single-indicator transpulmonary thermodilution in a large cohort of patients without cardiopulmonary instability, in order to evaluate current and alternative indexing methods. DESIGN Prospective, observational. SETTING Neurosurgical ICU in a tertiary referral academic teaching hospital. PATIENTS One hundred and one consecutive patients requiring elective brain tumor surgery and postoperative ICU surveillance. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Indexed to predicted body weight, females had a mean extravascular lung water of 9.1 (SD=3.1, range: 5-23) mL/kg and males of 8.0 (SD=2.0, range: 4-19) mL/kg (p<0.001). Values indexed to predicted body weight were inversely correlated with the patient's height (p<0.001). Indexed to the traditionally used actual body weight, data showed a significant relationship to weight (p<0.001) and gender (p<0.05). In contrast, indexing to body height presented a method without dependencies on height, weight, or gender, yielding a uniform 95% confidence interval of 218-430 mL/m. Extravascular lung water increased with positive perioperative fluid balance (p=0.04). CONCLUSIONS Using either predicted or actual body weight for indexing extravascular lung water does not lead to independence of height, weight, and gender of the patient. Specifying a fixed range of normal or a uniform upper threshold for all patients is misleading for either method, despite widespread use. Our data suggest that indexing extravascular lung water to height is superior to weight-based methods. As we are not aware of any abnormal hemodynamic profile for brain tumor patients, we propose our findings to be a close approximation to normal values.

Abstract
Background The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on hemodynamic parameters including transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD)-derived variables. Methods We compared hemodynamic parameters obtained before and after RBC transfusion (2 RBC units) in 34 intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Results Directly after RBC transfusion, we observed a significant increase in hematocrit (28 ± 3 vs. 22 ± 2%, p < 0.001), hemoglobin (9.4 ± 0.9 vs. 7.6 ± 0.8 g/dL, p < 0.001), arterial oxygen content (CaO2) (12.2 ± 1.2 vs. 9.9 ± 1.0 mL/dL, p < 0.001), and oxygen delivery (DO2) (1073 ± 369 vs. 934 ± 288 mL/min, p < 0.001) compared with baseline. Cardiac output (CO) (8.89 ± 3.06 vs. 9.42 ± 2.75 L/min, p = 0.020), cardiac index (CI) (4.53 ± 1.36 vs. 4.82 ± 1.21 L/min/m2, p = 0.016), and heart rate (91 ± 16 vs. 95 ± 14 bpm, p = 0.007) were significantly lower following RBC transfusion while no significant change in stroke volume (SV) was observed. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) (median 87 vs. 78 mmHg, p < 0.001) and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) (median 1212 vs. 1103 dyn*s*cm-5*m2, p = 0.001) significantly increased directly after RBC transfusion. Global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI), extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) did not significantly change. Conclusions In ICU patients, the transfusion of 2 RBC units induces a significant decrease in CO and CI because of a significant decrease in heart rate (while SV remains unchanged). Despite the decrease in CO, DO2 significantly increases because of a significant increase in CaO2. In addition, RBC transfusion results in a significant increase in MAP and SVRI. No significant changes in TPTD-parameters reflecting cardiac preload (GEDVI), pulmonary edema (EVLWI), and pulmonary vascular permeability (PVPI) are observed following RBC transfusion.

Abstract
Predictive variables of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and pulmonary edema following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remain unknown. We aimed to determine associations between transpulmonary thermodilution-derived variables and DCI and pulmonary edema occurrence after SAH. We reviewed 34 consecutive SAH patients monitored by the PiCCO system. Six patients developed DCI at 7 days after SAH on average; 28 did not (non-DCI). We compared the variable measures for 1 day before DCI occurred (DCI day -1) in the DCI group and 6 days after SAH (non-DCI day -1) in the non-DCI group for control. The mean value of the global end-diastolic volume index (GEDI) for DCI day -1 was lower than that for non-DCI day -1 (676 ± 65 vs. 872 ± 85 mL/m, P = 0.04). Central venous pressure (CVP) was not significantly different (7.8 ± 3.1 vs. 9.4 ± 1.9 cm H2O, P = 0.45). At day -1 for both DCI and non-DCI, 11 patients (32%) had pulmonary edema. Global end-diastolic volume index was significantly higher in patients with pulmonary edema than in those without this condition (947 ± 126 vs. 766 ± 81 mL/m, P = 0.02); CVP was not significantly different (8.7 ± 2.8 vs. 9.2 ± 2.1 cm H2O, P = 0.78). Although significant correlation was found between extravascular lung water (EVLW) measures and GEDI (r = 0.58, P = 0.001), EVLW and CVP were not correlated (r = 0.03, P = 0.88). Thus, GEDI might be associated with DCI occurrence and EVLW accumulation after SAH.

Abstract
PURPOSE Accurate prediction of fluid responsiveness is of importance in the treatment of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). We investigated whether physical examination, central venous pressure (CVP), central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), passive leg raising (PLR) test, and transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD)-derived parameters can predict volume responsiveness in patients admitted to the ICU. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective study, structured clinical examination, measurement of CVP and ScvO2, a PLR test, and TPTD measurements were performed in 31 patients. A fluid challenge test was performed in 24 patients (fluid responsiveness was defined as a cardiac index [CI] increase of ≥ 15%). RESULTS Physical examination, CVP, ScvO2, the PLR test, and the TPTD-derived volumetric preload parameter global end-diastolic volume index showed poor prognostic capabilities regarding prediction of fluid responsiveness. Twenty-nine percent of patients were fluid responsive. There was a statistically significant correlation between the fluid challenge-induced increase in CI and changes in global end-diastolic volume index (r = 0.666, P < .001). In only 17% of patients, CI did not increase after fluid loading. CONCLUSIONS Prediction of fluid responsiveness is difficult using physical examination, CVP, ScvO2, PLR maneuver, or TPTD-derived variables in critically ill patients. A volume challenge test should be considered for the assessment of fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU.

Abstract
Pulmonary oedema can result from both cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic aetiologies and is a cause of considerable morbidity and mortality. Accurate methods of quantifying pulmonary oedema are needed for both clinical and research purposes. Applications could include early recognition, and thus prevention, of impending decompensation in heart failure patients, guidance of fluid management in patients with established pulmonary oedema, and as a pharmacodynamic outcome measure for early clinical trials of drugs for the treatment of pulmonary oedema. Magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, electrical impedance, and thermodilution methods have all been used with the aim of measuring lung water. These methods differ in their accuracy, cost, ionising radiation dose, invasiveness, portability, and ability to provide dynamic measures. To date, none have been established as a ‘gold standard’ clinical measurement to improve clinical outcomes or to assist drug development. This review aims to discuss each of these methods in turn, focussing on advantages, limitations, and possible future development and applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transpulmonary thermodilution is used to measure cardiac output (CO), global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) and extravascular lung water (EVLW). A system has been introduced (VolumeView/EV1000™ system, Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine CA, USA) that employs a novel algorithm for the mathematical analysis of the thermodilution curve. Our aim was to evaluate the agreement of this method with the established PiCCO™ method (Pulsion Medical Systems SE, Munich, Germany, clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT01405040) METHODS: Seventy-two critically ill patients with clinical indication for advanced hemodynamic monitoring were included in this prospective, multicenter, observational study. During a 72-hour observation period, 443 sets of thermodilution measurements were performed with the new system. These measurements were electronically recorded, converted into an analog resistance signal and then re-analyzed by a PiCCO2™ device (Pulsion Medical Systems SE). RESULTS For CO, GEDV, and EVLW, the systems showed a high correlation (r(2) = 0.981, 0.926 and 0.971, respectively), minimal bias (0.2 L/minute, 29.4 ml and 36.8 ml), and a low percentage error (9.7%, 11.5% and 12.2%). Changes in CO, GEDV and EVLW were tracked with a high concordance between the two systems, with a traditional concordance for CO, GEDV, and EVLW of 98.5%, 95.1%, and 97.7% and a polar plot concordance of 100%, 99.8% and 99.8% for CO, GEDV, and EVLW, respectively. Radial limits of agreement for CO, GEDV and EVLW were 0.31 ml/minute, 81 ml and 40 ml, respectively. The precision of GEDV measurements was significantly better using the VolumeView™ algorithm compared to the PiCCO™ algorithm (0.033 (0.03) versus 0.040 (0.03; median (interquartile range), P = 0.000049). CONCLUSIONS For CO, GEDV, and EVLW, the agreement of both the individual measurements as well as measurements of change showed the interchangeability of the two methods. For the VolumeView method, the higher precision may indicate a more robust GEDV algorithm. TRIAL REGISTRATION clinicaltrials.gov NCT01405040.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the extravascular lung water index and other markers of disease severity in patients with acute lung injury vs. patients at risk for development of acute lung injury and to determine their ability to predict progression to acute lung injury in patients at risk. DESIGN Extravascular lung water index, dead space fraction, PaO2/FIO2, and other markers of disease severity were measured prospectively in 29 patients daily for 5 days after admission to the intensive care unit. Patients had acute lung injury as defined by the American European Consensus Committee criteria or had risk factors for development of it. SETTING The intensive care units of an academic tertiary referral hospital. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The mean extravascular lung water index on day 1 for patients who progressed to acute lung injury was higher than for those who did not (15.5 ± 7.4 mL/kg vs. 8.7 ± 2.3 mL/kg; p = .04). None of the other physiologic parameters tested discriminated progression to acute lung injury to include the mean physiologic dead space (0.61 ± 0.06] vs. 0.59 ± 0.10; p = .67), PaO2/FIO2 ratio (322 ± 35 vs. 267 ± 98; p = .15), and static lung compliance (30.9 ± 13.5 vs. 38.5 ± 11.7; p = .24). An extravascular lung water index cutoff value on day 1 of 10 mL/kg had a 63% sensitivity, 88% specificity, positive predictive value of 83%, and negative predictive value of 70% to predict progression to acute lung injury. There was no difference in extravascular lung water index between those who progressed to acute lung injury vs. those who had acute lung injury (14.3 ± 4.7 vs. 15.5 ± 7.4; p = .97). CONCLUSIONS Elevated extravascular lung water index is a feature of early acute lung injury and discriminates between those with acute lung injury and those without. Furthermore, extravascular lung water index predicts progression to acute lung injury in patients with risk factors for development of acute lung injury 2.6 ± 0.3 days before the patients meet American European Consensus Committee criteria for it. These 2.6 ± 0.3 days may then represent missed opportunity for therapeutic intervention and improved outcome.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate immediate and short-term effects of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) on cardiocirculatory, hepatic, and renal function and characterize predictors for TIPS outcome in terms of organ function after TIPS. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study was approved by the ethics committee at a university hospital and was conducted in a medical intensive care unit. Informed consent was obtained. Twenty patients with indication for TIPS were enrolled. Monitoring of hemodynamic and hepatic function (transpulmonary thermodilution, indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate [ICG-PDR]) was performed. Biochemical markers of organ function were obtained. Statistical analysis (Wilcoxon test, Spearman correlation, multivariate linear regression analysis, receiver operating characteristic [ROC] analysis) was performed. RESULTS After TIPS, central venous pressure (median, 11 vs 15 cm H(2)O; P < .001), cardiac index (3.4 vs 3.8 L/min/m(2); P = .001), and global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) (726 vs 775 mL/m(2); P = .003) increased significantly. Portosystemic pressure gradient (28 vs 11 cm H(2)O; P < .001) and systemic vascular resistance index (1610 vs 1384 dyn · sec · cm(-5) · m(2); P = .015) decreased significantly. Creatinine (1.1 vs 1.1 mg/dL; P = .008) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (27 vs 21 mg/dL; P = .006) decreased significantly. Bilirubin (1.8 vs 2.2 mg/dL; P = .032) and international normalized ratio (1.4 vs 1.5; P = .022) increased significantly. ICG-PDR significantly deteriorated after TIPS (P = .006). Higher baseline creatinine was independently associated with a decrease in creatinine after TIPS (R = 0.816, P < .001). ROC analysis identified baseline BUN (P = .026, area under ROC curve [AUC] = 0.818), cystatin C (P = .033, AUC = 0.805), and creatinine (P = .052, AUC = 0.779) as predictors of a decrease in creatinine of 0.5 mg/dL or greater and/or 25% or greater. An increase in bilirubin of 1 mg/dL or greater 1 week after TIPS was significantly associated with high baseline BUN (P = .007, AUC = 0.893) and high central venous pressure (P = .040, AUC = 0.800). Lower baseline alanine aminotransferase (P = .002, AUC = 1.000) and cardiac power index · GEDVI (P = .005, AUC = 0.960) predicted favorable TIPS outcome (creatinine decrease of ≥ 0.2 mg/dL without model for end-stage liver disease score increase of more than one point). CONCLUSION Patients with renal insufficiency, compensated hepatocellular function, decreased cardiac preload, and decreased cardiac performance benefit most from TIPS.

Abstract
Meconium aspiration syndrome causes respiratory failure after birth and in vivo monitoring of pulmonary edema is difficult. The objective of the present study was to assess hemodynamic changes and edema measured by transcardiopulmonary thermodilution in low weight newborn piglets. Additionally, the effect of early administration of sildenafil (2 mg/kg vo, 30 min after meconium aspiration) on this critical parameter was determined in the meconium aspiration syndrome model. Thirty-eight mechanically ventilated anesthetized male piglets (Sus scrofa domestica) aged 12 to 72 h (1660 ± 192 g) received diluted fresh human meconium in the airway in order to evoke pulmonary hypertension (PHT). Extravascular lung water was measured in vivo with a PiCCO monitor and ex vivo by the gravimetric method, resulting in an overestimate of 3.5 ± 2.3 mL compared to the first measurement. A significant PHT of 15 Torr above basal pressure was observed, similar to that of severely affected humans, leading to an increase in ventilatory support. The vascular permeability index increased 57%, suggesting altered alveolocapillary membrane permeability. Histology revealed tissue vessel congestion and nonspecific chemical pneumonitis. A group of animals received sildenafil, which prevented the development of PHT and lung edema, as evaluated by in vivo monitoring. In summary, the transcardiopulmonary thermodilution method is a reliable tool for monitoring critical newborn changes, offering the opportunity to experimentally explore putative therapeutics in vivo. Sildenafil could be employed to prevent PHT and edema if used in the first stages of development of the disease.

Abstract
Background In critically ill patients intravascular volume status and pulmonary edema need to be quantified as soon as possible. Many critically ill patients undergo a computed tomography (CT)-scan of the thorax after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). This study investigates whether CT-based estimation of cardiac preload and pulmonary hydration can accurately assess volume status and can contribute to an early estimation of hemodynamics. Methods Thirty medical ICU patients. Global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) and extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) were assessed using transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) serving as reference method (with established GEDVI/EVLWI normal values). Central venous pressure (CVP) was determined. CT-based estimation of GEDVI/EVLWI/CVP by two different radiologists (R1, R2) without analyzing software. Primary endpoint: predictive capabilities of CT-based estimation of GEDVI/EVLWI/CVP compared to TPTD and measured CVP. Secondary endpoint: interobserver correlation and agreement between R1 and R2. Results Accuracy of CT-estimation of GEDVI (< 680, 680-800, > 800 mL/m2) was 33%(R1)/27%(R2). For R1 and R2 sensitivity for diagnosis of low GEDVI (< 680 mL/m2) was 0% (specificity 100%). Sensitivity for prediction of elevated GEDVI (> 800 mL/m2) was 86%(R1)/57%(R2) with a specificity of 57%(R1)/39%(R2) (positive predictive value 38%(R1)/22%(R2); negative predictive value 93%(R1)/75%(R2)). Estimated CT-GEDVI and TPTD-GEDVI were significantly different showing an overestimation of GEDVI by the radiologists (R1: mean difference ± standard error (SE): 191 ± 30 mL/m2, p < 0.001; R2: mean difference ± SE: 215 ± 37 mL/m2, p < 0.001). CT GEDVI and TPTD-GEDVI showed a very low Lin-concordance correlation coefficient (ccc) (R1: ccc = +0.20, 95% CI: +0.00 to +0.38, bias-correction factor (BCF) = 0.52; R2: ccc = -0.03, 95% CI: -0.19 to +0.12, BCF = 0.42). Accuracy of CT estimation in prediction of EVLWI (< 7, 7-10, > 10 mL/kg) was 30% for R1 and 40% for R2. CT-EVLWI and TPTD-EVLWI were significantly different (R1: mean difference ± SE: 3.3 ± 1.2 mL/kg, p = 0.013; R2: mean difference ± SE: 2.8 ± 1.1 mL/kg, p = 0.021). Again ccc was low with -0.02 (R1; 95% CI: -0.20 to +0.13, BCF = 0.44) and +0.14 (R2; 95% CI: -0.05 to +0.32, BCF = 0.53). GEDVI, EVLWI and CVP estimations of R1 and R2 showed a poor interobserver correlation (low ccc) and poor interobserver agreement (low kappa-values). Conclusions CT-based estimation of GEDVI/EVLWI is not accurate for predicting cardiac preload and extravascular lung water in critically ill patients when compared to invasive TPTD-assessment of these variables.

Abstract
The clinical determination of the intravascular volume can be extremely difficult in critically ill and injured patients as well as those undergoing major surgery. This is problematic because fluid loading is considered the first step in the resuscitation of hemodynamically unstable patients. Yet, multiple studies have demonstrated that only approximately 50% of hemodynamically unstable patients in the intensive care unit and operating room respond to a fluid challenge. Whereas under-resuscitation results in inadequate organ perfusion, accumulating data suggest that over-resuscitation increases the morbidity and mortality of critically ill patients. Cardiac filling pressures, including the central venous pressure and pulmonary artery occlusion pressure, have been traditionally used to guide fluid management. However, studies performed during the past 30 years have demonstrated that cardiac filling pressures are unable to predict fluid responsiveness. During the past decade, a number of dynamic tests of volume responsiveness have been reported. These tests dynamically monitor the change in stroke volume after a maneuver that increases or decreases venous return (preload) and challenges the patients' Frank-Starling curve. These dynamic tests use the change in stroke volume during mechanical ventilation or after a passive leg raising maneuver to assess fluid responsiveness. The stroke volume is measured continuously and in real-time by minimally invasive or noninvasive technologies, including Doppler methods, pulse contour analysis, and bioreactance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) can be measured at the bedside using the transpulmonary thermodilution technique (TPTD). The goal of this study was to compare EVLWI values with a chest x-ray score of pulmonary edema and markers of oxygenation in critically ill children. METHODS This was a prospective observational study in a pediatric intensive care unit of a university hospital. We included 27 critically ill children with an indication for advanced invasive hemodynamic monitoring. No specific interventions for the purpose of the study were carried out. Measurements included EVLWI and other relevant hemodynamic variables. Blood gas analysis, ventilator parameters, chest x-ray and TPTD measurements were obtained within a three-hour time frame. Two radiologists assessed the chest x-ray and determined a score for pulmonary edema. RESULTS A total of 103 measurements from 24 patients were eligible for final analysis. Mean age was two years (range: two months to eight years). Median cardiac index was 4.00 (range: 1.65 to 10.85) l/min/m2. Median EVLWI was 16 (range: 6 to 31) ml/kg. The weighted kappa between the chest x-ray scores of the two radiologists was 0.53. There was no significant correlation between EVLWI or chest x-ray score and the number of ventilator days, severity of illness or markers of oxygenation. There was no correlation between EVLWI and the chest x-ray score. EVLWI was significantly correlated with age and length (r2 of 0.47 and 0.67 respectively). CONCLUSIONS The extravascular lung water index in critically ill children does not correlate with a chest x-ray score of pulmonary edema, nor with markers of oxygenation.

Transpulmonary thermodilution using femoral indicator injection: a prospective trial in patients with a femoral and a jugular central venous catheter. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2010; 14:R95. [PMID: 20500825 PMCID: PMC2911732 DOI: 10.1186/cc9030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2010] [Revised: 03/25/2010] [Accepted: 05/25/2010] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Introduction Advanced hemodynamic monitoring using transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) is established for measurement of cardiac index (CI), global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) and extra-vascular lung water index (EVLWI). TPTD requires indicator injection via a central venous catheter (usually placed via the jugular or subclavian vein). However, superior vena cava access is often not feasible due to the clinical situation. This study investigates the conformity of TPTD using femoral access. Methods This prospective study involved an 18-month trial at a medical intensive care unit at a university hospital. Twenty-four patients with both a superior and an inferior vena cava catheter at the same time were enrolled in the study. Results TPTD-variables were calculated from TPTD curves after injection of the indicator bolus via jugular access (TPTDjug) and femoral access (TPTDfem). GEDVIfem and GEDVIjug were significantly correlated (rm = 0.88; P < 0.001), but significantly different (1,034 ± 275 vs. 793 ± 180 mL/m2; P < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated a bias of +241 mL/m2 (limits of agreement: -9 and +491 mL/m2). GEDVIfem, CIfem and ideal body weight were independently associated with the bias (GEDVIfem-GEDVIjug). A correction formula of GEDVIjug after femoral TPTD, was calculated. EVLWIfem and EVLWIjug were significantly correlated (rm = 0.93; P < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis revealed a bias of +0.83 mL/kg (limits of agreement: -2.61 and +4.28 mL/kg). Furthermore, CIfem and CIjug were significantly correlated (rm = 0.95; P < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated a bias of +0.29 L/min/m2 (limits of agreement -0.40 and +0.97 L/min/m2; percentage-error 16%). Conclusions TPTD after femoral injection of the thermo-bolus provides precise data on GEDVI with a high correlation, but a self-evident significant bias related to the augmented TPTD-volume. After correction of GEDVIfem using a correction formula, GEDVIfem shows high predictive capabilities for GEDVIjug. Regarding CI and EVLWI, accurate TPTD-data is obtained using femoral access.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objectives were to characterize alveolar fluid clearance (AFC) in pigs with normal lungs and to analyze the effect of immediate application of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). METHODS Animals (n = 25) were mechanically ventilated and divided into four groups: small edema (SE) group, producing pulmonary edema (PE) by intratracheal instillation of 4 ml/kg of saline solution; small edema with PEEP (SE + PEEP) group, same as previous but applying PEEP of 10 cmH2O; large edema (LE) group, producing PE by instillation of 10 ml/kg of saline solution; and large edema with PEEP (LE + PEEP) group, same as LE group but applying PEEP of 10 cmH2O. AFC was estimated from differences in extravascular lung water values obtained by transpulmonary thermodilution method. RESULTS At one hour, AFC was 19.4% in SE group and 18.0% in LE group. In the SE + PEEP group, the AFC rate was higher at one hour than at subsequent time points and higher than in the SE group (45.4% vs. 19.4% at one hour, P < 0.05). The AFC rate was also significantly higher in the LE + PEEP than in the LE group at three hours and four hours. CONCLUSIONS In this pig model, the AFC rate is around 20% at one hour and around 50% at four hours, regardless of the amount of edema, and is increased by the application of PEEP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preload parameters in postresuscitation phase are not sufficiently sensitive to guide fluid therapy in critically ill patients. We analyzed modifications in the fluid therapy and vasoactive drugs of critically ill patients that were produced by inclusion of extravascular lung water (EVLW) data in the treatment protocol and evaluated the short-term response. METHODS This observational and prospective study included consecutive patients with hypotension or hypoxemia, comparing the therapeutic plan for fluid and vasoactive drug treatment between before and after knowing the EVLW value. RESULTS We studied 42 patients. After knowing the EVLW, 52.4% (n = 22) of initial therapeutic plans were changed, modifying fluid therapy in all of these cases and vasoactive therapy in 22% of them. EVLW value was 13.91 +/- 5.62 in patients with change of therapeutic plan versus 10 +/- 4.52 in those with no change (p < 0.05). No differences were found in preload parameters as a function of change/no change. The most frequent decision change (n = 13) was to fluid reduction plus diuretic administration, and patients with this modification had significantly (p < 0.05) higher EVLW values compared with the remaining patients with a change in fluid therapy. Out of the 22 patients with a modified therapeutic decision, the therapy proved effective in 18 patients CONCLUSION Quantification of EVLW in patients who can be considered euvolemic induces important modifications in fluid and vasoactive therapy. These changes generally resulted in a lower volume loading and a positive outcome for the patient.

Abstract
Extravascular lung water includes all of the fluid within the lung but outside of the vasculature. Lung water increases as a result of increased hydrostatic vascular pressure or from an increase in lung endothelial and epithelial permeability or both. Experimentally, extravascular lung water has been measured gravimetrically. Clinically, the chest radiograph is used to determine whether extravascular lung water is present but is an insensitive instrument for determining the quantity of lung water. Bedside measurement of extravascular lung water in patients is now possible using a single indicator thermodilution method. This review critically evaluates the experimental and clinical evidence supporting the potential value of measuring extravascular lung water in patients using the single indicator method.

Resuscitation of haemorrhagic shock with normal saline vs. lactated Ringer's: effects on oxygenation, extravascular lung water and haemodynamics. CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2009; 13:R30.

Abstract
Introduction Pulmonary oedema and impairment of oxygenation are reported as common consequences of haemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HSR). Surprisingly, there is little information in the literature examining differences in crystalloid type during the early phase of HSR regarding the development of pulmonary oedema, the impact on oxygenation and the haemodynamic response. These experiments were designed to determine if differences exist because of crystalloid fluid type in the development of oedema, the impact on oxygenation and the haemodynamic response to fluid administration in early HSR. Methods Twenty anaesthetised swine underwent a grade V liver injury and bled without resuscitation for 30 minutes. The animals were randomised to receive, in a blinded fashion, either normal saline (NS; n = 10) or lactated Ringer's solution (LR; n = 10). They were then resuscitated with study fluid to, and maintained at, the preinjury mean arterial pressure (MAP) for 90 minutes. Results Extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) began to increase immediately with resuscitation with both fluid types, increasing earlier and to a greater degree with NS. A 1 ml/kg increase in EVLWI from baseline occurred after administartion of (mean ± standard error of the mean) 68.6 ± 5.2 ml/kg of normal saline and 81.3 ± 8.7 ml/kg of LR (P = 0.027). After 150 ml/kg of fluid, EVLWI increased from 9.5 ± 0.3 ml/kg to 11.4 ± 0.3 ml/kg NS and from 9.3 ± 0.2 ml/kg to 10.8 ± 0.3 ml/kg LR (P = 0.035). Despite this, oxygenation was not significantly impacted (Delta partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2)/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ≤ 100) until approximately 250 ml/kg of either fluid had been administered. Animals resuscitated with NS were more acidaemic (with lower lactates), pH 7.17 ± 0.03 NS vs. 7.41 ± 0.02 LR (P < 0.001). Conclusions This study suggests that early resuscitation of haemorrhagic shock with NS or LR has little impact on oxygenation when resuscitation volume is less than 250 ml/kg. LR has more favourable effects than NS on EVLWI, pH and blood pressure but not on oxygenation.

Abstract
Insertion of a central venous catheter and an arterial catheter would be indicated in hemodynamically unstable or severely hypoxic patients in critical care units. In this setting, cardiorespiratory monitoring by transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) can be considered minimally invasive given that only a single arterial thermodilution catheter and a single central venous catheter are required to be connected to a specific monitor (the PiCCO Plus, Pulsion Medical Systems, Munich, Germany). TDTP simultaneously measures cardiac output, preloading, and cardiac function in hemodynamically unstable patients and predicts the response to volume. The technique can be managed by any health care professional. In hypoxic patients, TDTP identifies cases of pulmonary edema that might benefit from a negative fluid balance, evaluates pulmonary vascular permeability, facilitates our understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms of hypoxemia, and predicts the likelihood of deleterious hemodynamic effects of positive end-expiratory pressures.

Abstract
Early optimization of fluid status is of central importance in the treatment of critically ill patients. This study aims to investigate whether inferior vena cava (IVC) diameters correlate with invasively assessed hemodynamic parameters and whether this approach may thus contribute to an early, non-invasive evaluation of fluid status. Thirty mechanically ventilated patients with severe sepsis or septic shock (age 60 +/- 15 years; APACHE-II score 31 +/- 8; 18 male) were included. IVC diameters were measured throughout the respiratory cycle using transabdominal ultrasonography. Consecutively, volume-based hemodynamic parameters were determined using the single-pass thermal transpulmonary dilution technique. This was a prospective study in a tertiary care academic center with a 24-bed medical intensive care unit (ICU) and a 14-bed anesthesiological ICU. We found a statistically significant correlation of both inspiratory and expiratory IVC diameter with central venous pressure (p = 0.004 and p = 0.001, respectively), extravascular lung water index (p = 0.001, p < 0.001, respectively), intrathoracic blood volume index (p = 0.026, p = 0.05, respectively), the intrathoracic thermal volume (both p < 0.001), and the PaO(2)/FiO(2) oxygenation index (p = 0.007 and p = 0.008, respectively). In this study, IVC diameters were found to correlate with central venous pressure, extravascular lung water index, intrathoracic blood volume index, the intrathoracic thermal volume, and the PaO(2)/FiO(2) oxygenation index. Therefore, sonographic determination of IVC diameter seems useful in the early assessment of fluid status in mechanically ventilated septic patients. At this point in time, however, IVC sonography should be used only in addition to other measures for the assessment of volume status in mechanically ventilated septic patients.
