Fluid management in critically ill patients: the role of extravascular lung water abdominal hypertension capillary leak and fluid balance

摘要

>IntroductionCapillary leak in critically ill patients leads to interstitial edema. Fluid overload is independently associated with poor prognosis. Bedside measurement of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), fluid balance, and capillary leak index (CLI) may provide a valuable prognostic tool in mechanically ventilated patients.
