Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Aged 18 or older. 2. Critically ill. 3. Hemodynamic monitoring via transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) irrespective of the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Visible pleural effusion at regions for sonographic chest scan. 2. Major one-sided pathologies i.e. large pleural effusion, pneumothorax, thoracic drainage, extended atelectasis, tumorous lesion or former lung resection (n=1). 3. Pulmonary vascular occlusion.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
B-Lines scores are correlated to lung water parameters ELVWI and PVPI at baseline just before the first hemodynamic monitoring via TPTD.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
B-Lines scores are evaluated in the prediction of specific levels of EVLWI and PVPI at baseline just before the first hemodynamic monitoring via TPTD.	—
