    A novel method accurately measures pulmonary edema (ETVL) using sodium and heat indicators. This repeatable technique offers potential for differentiating edema from congestion and assessing therapy effectiveness without blood loss.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular physiology
    • Medical instrumentation
    • Diagnostic techniques

    Background:

    • Pulmonary edema (ETVL) diagnosis is crucial for patient management.
    • Existing methods may have limitations in repeatability or invasiveness.
    • A non-invasive, repeatable method for ETVL measurement is desirable.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a new method for measuring extravascular thermal volume (ETVL) using sodium ions and heat.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of an external sensing catheter for ETVL measurement.
    • To compare ETVL measurements obtained from internal and external sensing catheters.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a method utilizing sodium ions as intravascular and heat as extravascular indicators.
    • Constructed and tested an external sensing catheter for ETVL measurement.

  • Compared ETVL and QT measurements from internal and external catheters.

    • Main Results:

    • The external catheter provided comparable QT measurements to the internal catheter.
    • ETVL was consistently overestimated by the external catheter by 2.46 +/- 0.26 ml/kg.
    • A correction factor allows relating external ETVL values to internal values.

    Conclusions:

    • The described method offers a repeatable, non-invasive approach to ETVL measurement.
    • The external catheter, with a correction factor, can be reliably used for clinical studies.
    • This technique holds potential for differentiating pulmonary edema from congestion and monitoring treatment efficacy.
