Evaluation of Extravascular Thermal Volume in the Lung in Dogs with Endotoxin-Induced Shock by Double Indicator Dilution Method using Heat and Sodium Ions

[摘要] References(19)Cited-By(2)Accuracy assessment was undertaken under varying hemodynamic conditions for a lung water volume measurement device which is based on the principle of a double indicator dilution method using heat and sodium ions. Changes in extravascular thermal volume were investigated in dogs with endotoxin-induced shock. The isoproterenol- or propranolol-induced changes in hemodynamics had no effect on the measurement. This confirmed the high accuracy of this measuring method. The measurement revealed a tendency for the extravascular thermal volume to gradually increase (p<0.05) during endotoxin shock. This confirmed the gradual progression of pulmonary edema during endotoxin shock.
