Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To establish the quantitative differential criteria of cardiogenic edema and ALI/ARDS (permeability edema), using pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) and extravascular lung water index (ELWI). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Effects of serum albumin level and osmolarity on ELWI 2) Assessment of the relationship between PVPI and capillary leak index 3) Effect of selective neutrophil elastase inhibitor on patients with acute pulmonary edema 4) Assessment of severity and prognosis using ELWI, PVPI, and plasma antithrombin activity 5) Prognostic value of ELWI calculated from predicted body weight 6) Differences of EVLW and PVPI between direct and indirect injury 7) Relationship between serum BNP, NT-proBNP, creatinine and ELWI, PVPI. 8) Relationship between DIC and ELWI, PVPI 9) Relationship between ELWI, PVPI and 28-day mortarityl, period of time on mechanical ventilation. 10) Relationship between ELWI, PVPI measured at the onset of acute pulmonary edema and quasi-static lung compliance, PEEP level. 11)Relationship between procalcitonin, acutephase reactants and ELWI, PVPI | — |
