to test the hypothesis that dry blood-free lung weight is increased during pulmonary edema , thereby leading to an underestimation of the ratio of extravascular lung water-to-dry lung weight , we measured postmortem lung water , dry mass , and hydroxyproline content in 33 sheep with normal lungs ( n = 10 ) , high-pressure edema ( n = 9 ) , or increased permeability edema ( n = 14 ) .
