Abstract: Pulmonary edema frequently occurs after severe burn.It not only impairs pulmonary function directly,but also can induce or exacerbate other pulmonary complications such as lung infection,acute lung injury (ALl),and ARDS.Extravascular lung water (EVLW) is closely related to the pulmonary edema.Dynamical monitor of EVLW has been used to predict and quantify the degree of pulmonary edema clinically.This review focuses on the recent progresses at home and abroad on the formation mechanism,monitoring approach,and prevention and treatment of EVLW after severe burn injury.
