Effect of bumetanide in capillary permeability pulmonary oedema

Pulmonary epithelial permeability in ARDS and cardiogenic pulmonary oedema.

Clearance of inhaled 99mTechnetium-labelled diethylene triamine pentacetate (99mTc-DTPA) from the lung, an index of pulmonary alveolar epithelial permeability (PAEP), was measured in 13 patients with cardiogenic interstitial pulmonary oedema (CIPO) and in 7 patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Thirty-five normal subjects (22 nonsmokers and 13 smokers) were evaluated as cont...

Pulmonary Capillary Leak Syndrome

Pulmonary vascular permeability to transferrin in the pulmonary oedema of renal failure.

Thirteen patients with renal failure and pulmonary oedema were assessed for evidence of increased pulmonary vascular permeability to protein by a double isotope technique. Comparison was made with 10 patients with cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, 11 healthy volunteers, and 10 patients with the adult respiratory distress syndrome. There was no significant difference in the accumulation of a radiola...

Effects of endotoxin on pulmonary capillary permeability, ultrastructure, and surfactant.

Altered pulmonary capillary permeability complicating recovery from diabetic ketoacidosis.

Self-limited noncardiogenic interstitial pulmonary edema probably reflecting altered permeability of the pulmonary capillary membrane is reported in a patient being treated for severe diabetic ketoacidosis. The possible etiology, associated findings, and therapy with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) by facemask are discussed.
