Excerpt
In critical illness, optimization of the fluid status is of central importance. This study aims to investigate whether radiographic estimation of the global end-diastolic volume index (GEDI), the extravascular lung water index (ELWI) and the central venous pressure (CVP) using computed tomography (CT) is able to contribute to an early, noninvasive evaluation of fluid status. …
