Our findings indicate that the maximum is limited, in part, by the resistance of the extrapulmonary system. METHODS pulmonary edema; vessel resistance; tance; vessel pressure node resis- THE ABILITY of the system to remove fluid from the is a major safety factor against edema. Normally all the fluid that filters from the microvessels is removed via the atics so that there is no net accumulation of fluid in the interstitium. Moderate increases in microvascular pressure cause a more rapid rate of filtration; however, decreases in tissue fluid protein osmotic pressure and increases in tissue fluid pressure and serve as safety mechanisms to prevent edema. Large increases in microvascular pressure will overwhelm the safety mechanisms and cause edema. Factors that reduce will diminish the ability of the system to act as a safety mechanism. For instance, we have shown that elevations of pressure in neck veins will slow and promote edema (1, 14). Because the system plays an important role in the prevention of edema, knowledge of the factors that affect the maximum capacity of the system would be valuable. We
