Comparison of gravimetric and a double-indicator dilution technique for assessment of extra-vascular lung water in endotoxaemia

Abstract: The molecular double-indicator dilution technique showed similar results as the gravimetrical method for assessment of extra-vascular lung water in non-endotoxaemic conditions. However, during endotoxin-induced lung injury the molecular double indicator dilution technique failed to detect the significant increase in extra-vascular lung water as measured by the gravimetric method. These data suggest that the molecular double indicator dilution technique may be of limited value during sepsis-induced lung injury.

“…The transpulmonary thermodilution method using the single-indicator transpulmonary thermodilution technique (PiCCO; Pulsion Medical Systems, Munich, Germany) was originally developed in swine and has been previously validated by comparison with the postmortem gravimetric technique, and with the double dilution (thermo-dye) technique in swine, sheep and humans in a variety of disease states [ 15 - 18 ]. The technique can slightly overestimate EVLWI in normal controls and underestimate it in severe lung injury.…”

“…After termination of the ET‐1‐challenge, plasma HBP tended to decrease. When the lungs were extracted, 90 min after termination of the infusion, EVLWI Grav seemed to be increased (8.2 ± 1.1 ml/kg, Table ) when compared to values from non‐endotoxemic sham animals (6.4 ± 0.3 ml/kg) presented previously from our group . ET‐1‐infusions also induced an increase in MPAP, reduced C rs I, CI and a‐pH but had no effects on P/F ratio and other parameters shown in Table .…”

“…We tried to eliminate this factor by visually inspecting each dilution curve for artefacts or other signs of inadequate measurement. The TPDD is considered the clinical gold standard to measure EVLWI based on different studies showing strong correlation between EVLWI tpdd and EVLWI grav [1218, 3436]. However, as a strong correlation does not necessary imply good agreement between two methods [28], we reviewed some previous reports and (re)calculated bias and precision if the necessary data were available (Table 2).…”
