Measurement of extravascular lung water by thermal-dye dilution technique: mechanisms of cardiac output dependence
The extent to which extravascular lung water (EVLW) is dependent on cardiac output was analysed in anaesthetized and mechanically ventilated pigs. EVLW was measured by thermal-dye dilution technique, by a fibr...
