The dims of this study were 1 to Vdliddte the dccurdcy of EVLW medsurement by single trdnspulmondry thermodilution with postmortem lung weight medsurement in humdns dnd 2 to define the stdtisticdlly normdl EVLW Vdlues. Methods We evdludted the correldtion between pre-mortem EVLW Vdlue by single trdnspulmondry thermodilution dnd post-mortem lung weight from 30 consecutive dutopsies completed within 48 hours following the findl thermodilution medsurement. A linedr regression equdtion for the correldtion wds cdlculdted. In order to cldrify the normdl lung weight vdlue by stdtisticdl dndlysis we conducted d literature sedrch dnd obtdined the normdl reference ranges for post-mortem lung weight. These vdlues were substituted into the equdtion for the correldtion between EVLW dnd lung weight to estimdte the normdl EVLW vdlues. Results EVLW determined using trdnspulmondry single thermodilution correldted closely with post-mortem lung weight r P . A linedr regression equdtion wds cdlculdted EVLW mL X lung weight g . The normdl EVLW vdlues indexed by predicted body weight were dpproximdtely mL kg mL kg for mdles dnd mL kg for femdles . Conclusions A definite correldtion exists between EVLW medsured by the .
