Background: Treatment of multiple organ failure frequently requires enhanced hemodynamic monitoring. When renal replacement is indicated, it remains unclear whether transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) measurements are influenced by renal replacement therapy (RRT) and whether RRT should be paused for TPTD measurements. Our aim was therefore to investigate the effect of pausing RRT on TPTD results in two dialysis catheter locations.
Materials And Methods: In total, 62 TPTD measurements in 24 patients (APACHE: 32 ± 7 [mean ± standard deviation (SD)]) were performed using the PiCCO™ system (Pulsion, Germany). Patients were treated with sustained low efficiency dialysis (SLED; Genius™ system, Fresenius, Germany) as RRT. Measurements were taken during ongoing hemodialysis (HD, HDO), during paused HD (HDP) and immediately after termination of HD and blood restitution (HDT). Dialysis catheters were placed either in the superior vena cava (SVC, 19 times) or in the inferior vena cava (IVC, 5 times). Statistical analysis was performed to assess the effects of the measurement setting, SLED (blood flow rate) and the catheter location, on cardiac index (CI), global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI) and extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) as measured by TPTD. Multilevel models were used for the analysis due to the triplicate measurements and due to 12 out of 19 SVC and 2 out of 5 IVC patients having more than one TPTD measured.
Results: CI and GEDVI were significantly higher at time point HDP compared to both HDO and HDT. In contrast, values for EVLWI were lower at HDP when compared to HDO and HDT. These findings were independent of the site of dialysis catheter insertion and blood flow rate.
Conclusions: PiCCO™ measurements assessed at paused SLED significantly deviate from ongoing and terminated SLED. Therefore, the dialysis system should not be paused for measurements. TPTD measurements in patients with PiCCO monitoring seem sufficiently reliable during ongoing SLED as well as after its termination. An effect of dialysis catheter location (SVC vs IVC) and blood flow rate on PiCCO™ measurements could not be shown.

Objective: To assess the agreement of transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) and transpulmonary ultrasound dilution (TPUD) against direct measurement of main pulmonary artery flow with an ultrasound transit time flow probe (UTF) over a wide range of conditions in anesthetized cats. Additionally, the trending ability of TPTD, TPUD, and esophageal Doppler ultrasonography (EDU) was evaluated against UTF.
Methods: 12 purpose-bred cats were used.

Menopause exacerbates osteoporosis and increases the risk of atherosclerotic plaque rupture, leading to cardiovascular mortality. Osteoporotic women are increasingly treated with teriparatide (TPTD, 1-34 parathyroid hormone), one of the few treatments that stimulate bone formation. Despite the fact that atherosclerotic plaque calcification is a hallmark of plaque development, the impact of TPTD administration on plaque calcification remain unclear.

Background: Quantification of pulmonary edema in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by chest computed tomography (CT) scan has not been validated in routine diagnostics due to its complexity and time-consuming nature. Therefore, the single-indicator transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) technique to measure extravascular lung water (EVLW) has been used in the clinical setting. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have now enabled CT images of inhomogeneous lungs to be segmented automatically by an intensive care physician with no prior radiology training within a relatively short time.

Article Synopsis
- The pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) is a measure of lung water relative to blood volume, which becomes elevated in conditions like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to damage to lung membranes.
- A study involving 251 patients showed that women have significantly higher PVPI values than men, and that PVPI decreases with increasing age and height.
- The findings suggest that PVPI may be influenced by anthropometric factors, potentially leading to misclassification of abnormal PVPI readings, indicating the need for further research in this area.
