Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the clinical significance of extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) in patients with acute cerebral disease in ICU.

Methods

This study retrospectively investigated the medical records of 71 patients with acute cerebral disease in ICU of Peking University Shougang Hospital from January 2009 to December 2014. All the patients underwent PICCO catheter placement to monitor hemodynamic parameters within six hours. The general information including age, sex, APACHE II score, Glasgow score, and outcome was collected. The clinical diagnostic data such as the type of cerebral disease, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and heart failure were also collected. EVLWI was measured with a PULSION PICCO plus monitor. All patients were divided into either a death group or a survival group according to 28-day outcome and EVLWI was compared between the two groups.

Results

There was a significant difference in Glasgow score between the two groups (P=0.02). There was a higher EVLWI in the death group on the 3rd and 5th day after the onset of the disease (P=0.024 and 0.010, respectively), and the death group also had a higher percentage of patients with EVLWI elevation on the 5th and 7th day (P=0.047 and 0.028, respectively). Correlation analysis showed that EVLWI and the percentage of patients with EVLWI elevation were positively correlated with the number of days of onset (r=0.14, P=0.005; r=0.991, P=0.000), and EVLWI was also positively correlated with the number of days of onset in the death group (r=0.337, P=0.000), but not in the survival group (r=0.039, P=0.587). In both groups, the proportion of patients with increased EVLWI was positively correlated with the number of days of onset (r=0.862, P=0.013; r=0.938, P=0.001). Further survival analysis showed that on the 5th and 7th day, EVLWI had an effect on the survival rate of the patients (P=0.038 and 0.011), and the survival rate of the patients with increased EVLWI was decreased significantly.

Conclusion

After the onset of acute craniocerebral disease, EVLWI is related to the course of disease and the survival of patients.
