The Case for Measuring EVLW in ARDS<br />

1. Can “drown” with only 200-300 ml extra lung<br />

water<br />

2. Want to know precisely what is happening to<br />

lung water with resuscitative and therapeutic<br />

interventions<br />

3. CXR, oxygen need, severity of injury – LIS, are<br />

imprecise determinates of the amount of<br />

pulmonary edema<br />

4. No correlation to PaOP, CVP or fluid balance<br />

with lung water
