Risk factors and the associated limit values for abnormal elevation of extravascular lung water in severely burned adults

ConclusionsBurn size and ITBVI are the independent risk factors for EVLWI abnormality during the fluid reabsorption stage in severely burned adults. The limit values for predicting a supranormal EVLWI in those patients are 65.5% TBSA for burn size and 845 ml/m2 for ITBVI.
