Summary

The determination of extravascular lung water reflects the integrity and function of the pulmonary capillary barrier. An increase in extravascular lung water (EVLW) may be caused by an increase in the barrier’s permeability or the pressure in the pulmonary vasculature and can be derived accurately by single transpulmonary thermodilution measurement. In patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome, extravascular lung water may be of prognostic relevance and help guide therapy utilizing a goal-directed strategy.
