Figure 3

Comparisons of the extravascular lung water index and pulmonary vascular permeability index measured using transpulmonary thermodilution among the three categories of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Increasing ARDS severity was associated with higher EVLWi (mild, 14.7 (11.5 to 18.1); moderate, 16.2 (12.6 to 20.9); severe, 20.0 (15.5 to 27.3)) and PVPI values (mild, 2.6 (2.0 to 3.1); moderate, 2.7 (2.2 to 3.5); severe, 3.5 (2.6 to 4.7)). *P <0.05 vs. mild ARDS; **P <0.01 vs. mild ARDS; #P <0.01 vs. moderate ARDS. ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome; EVLWi, extravascular lung water index; PVPI, pulmonary vascular permeability index.
