Association between Different Indexations of Extravascular Lung Water (EVLW) and PaO2/FiO2: A Two-Center Study in 231 Patients

Abstract

Indexation of EVLW to height (EVLWI(height)) improves the association of EVLW(I) to PaO2/FiO2 and OI compared to all other indexations including EVLWI(pred) and EVLWI(act). Also considering two recent biometric database analyses, EVLWI should be indexed to height.
