we examined the integrity of the alveolocapillary membrane in human cardiac ( hydrostatic ) ( group 1 ) and noncardiac ( permeability ) ( group 2 ) edema by measuring the clearance of two intravenously administered radiotracers from the blood to suctioned bronchoalveolar secretions ( bas ) , representing pulmonary edema fluid , and compared the clearances to simultaneously measured pulmonary capillary wedge pressure ( pcwp ) and colloid osmotic pressure ( cop ) , representing the intravascular starling forces , pmv and pimv .
