Extravascular Lung Water as a Target for Goal-directed Therapy

  • Chapter
Annual Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine 2014

Part of the book series: Annual Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((AUICEM,volume 2014))

Abstract

Accumulation of extravascular lung water (EVLW) is a hallmark of pulmonary edema and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) of various etiologies [1]. Increased EVLW is associated with a high mortality rate [1–3]. Thus, in critically ill patients, the balance and maintenance of cardiac preload and vital organ perfusion should be thoroughly weighed against the deleterious effects of worsening pulmonary edema, and quantification of EVLW may offer a valuable therapeutic guide to providers of intensive care.
