title: Pulmonary permeability oedema. Methods of estimation of pulmonary capillary permeability.
abstract: Lung permeability oedema (acute respiratory distress syndrome-ARDS) is characterized by the increase of microvessels and epithelial permeability. In the estimation of pulmonary capillary permeability, the mathematical modeling is very useful. Some models and practical clinical methods concerning this problem are reviewed in this paper.
