Find the safest way – With PiCCO only

* Preload volume (GEDI), lung water (ELWI) and ScvO2 via a standard CVC can only be measured with the PiCCO-Technology.

Adequate O2 supply?

O2-supply depends on the CO
Clinical examination and standard monitoring do not reflect CO
Non calibrated systems are not accurate yet
ScvO2 reflects global tissue oxygenation

Volume or Catecholamines

GEDI reliably indicates hypovolemia
PPV/SVV show effectiveness of volume loading on CO
ELWI warns of impending fluid overload
SVRI represents vascular resistance
Additional information on contractility is available from CFI, GEF, dPmx

Why measure lung water?

Lung edema is a frequent complication of septic shock
Fluid overload through excessive volume administration can be avoided
ELWI is significantly more sensitive than chest x-ray
High ELWI is associated with poor prognosis
