Transpulmonary

With regards to potential hyperemia-induced changes in PCWP and their effect on physiologic index derivation, we recognize that such changes may proportionally have a greater effect on the transpulmonary pressure gradient than changes in systemic venous pressures would have on the gradient across the higher-pressured systemic circulation. ❋ Rahn Ilsar Et Al. (2010)

Targeting resuscitation using fixed ranges of preload volumes acquired by transpulmonary thermodilution without concern to an individual patient's age and gender seems not to be appropriate. ❋ Stefan Wolf (2009)

Patients requiring brain tumor surgery were equipped prospectively with a transpulmonary thermodilution device. ❋ Stefan Wolf (2009)

We investigated the relationship of the global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) acquired by transpulmonary thermodilution with age and gender in awake and spontaneously breathing patients. ❋ Stefan Wolf (2009)

Volumetric parameters acquired by transpulmonary thermodilution had been repeatedly proven superior to filling pressures for estimation of cardiac preload. ❋ Stefan Wolf (2009)

Conclusions As compared with the current standard of care, a ventilator strategy using esophageal pressures to estimate the transpulmonary pressure significantly improves oxygenation and compliance. ❋ Unknown (2008)

In this pilot study, we estimated transpulmonary pressure with the use of esophageal balloon catheters. ❋ Unknown (2008)
