From: Pulmonary vascular permeability index and global end-diastolic volume: are the data consistent in patients with femoral venous access for transpulmonary thermodilution: a prospective observational study

Figure 3

Boxplots plots comparing pulmonary vascular permeability index PVPI as displayed by the PiCCO-2 device (PVPI displayed ) vs. PVPI calculated as ratio of EVLW/PBV (extravascular lung water/pulmonary blood volume) vs. PVPI corrected using the formula suggested for correction of femoral indicator injection derived GEDV [16]: GEDVI corrected [mL / m 2 ] = 0.539 * GEDVI uncorrected - 15.17 + 24.49 * CI uncorrected 2.311* BW ideal . Assuming that PVPIdisplayed was calculated based on GEDV and PBV not corrected for femoral injection, PVPIcorrected was calculated by multiplying PVPIdisplayed with the ratio 0.25*GEDVuncorrected/0.25*GEDVcorrected.
