Giraud R Siegenthaler N Park C Beutler S Bendjelid K 2010 PURPOSE Monitoring using transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) via a single thermal indicator technique allows measurement of cardiac output, extravascular lung water (EVLW) and volumetric variables. METHODS AND RESULTS This report describes two cases of systemic-venous circulation shunt generating early recirculation of thermal indicator with overestimation of EVLW. CONCLUSION In the case of recirculation of thermal indicator, the observed overestimated EVLW in absence of gas exchanges abnormality could be an indicator suggesting the search for a circulatory shunt. application/pdf https://sonar.ch/global/documents/89618 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1007/s00134-010-1876-7 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/20397008 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Intensive care medicine. - 2010 Aged Arteriovenous Fistula Cardiac Output Critical Illness Extravascular Lung Water Female Heart Septal Defects, Ventricular Hemodynamics Humans Male Monitoring, Physiologic Pulmonary Circulation Pulmonary Edema Thermodilution Young Adult Transpulmonary thermodilution curves for detection of shunt. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
