[The prognostic value of extravascular lung water index in critically ill septic shock patients].
To investigate the prognostic value of extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) in critically ill patients with septic shock in intensive care unit (ICU). ⋯ Dynamic observation of EVLWI can be one of the factors for predicting the prognosis of patients with septic shock. A reduction of EVLWI at early treatment and a negative fluid balance were associated with a better prognosis.
