Haemorrhagic pulmonary oedema: post-pulmonary embolectomy.
A case of haemorrhagic pulmonary oedema after successful pulmonary embolectomy is presented. The relevant literature is reviewed. Thirteen cases are analysed as well as the four survivors. The aetiology appears to be ischaemic damage of the capillary bed. This had previously been called incomplete infarction by Castleman. The incidence is low after acute pulmonary embolectomies but appears to b...

The present study reports the case of a 43-yr-old very sporty male, who developed shortness of breath and expectorated bloody froth during aqua jogging. Pulmonary oedema was diagnosed clinically and by computed tomography of the chest. The patient made a full recovery and his echocardiography was entirely normal.

متن کاملRe-expansion pulmonary oedema.
Clinical details are given of two patients who developed ipsilateral pulmonary oedema following re-expansion of their spontaneous pneumothoraces by intercostal drainage of air. The possible mechanisms underlying the oedema are discussed, and prior literature is analysed. Reference is made particularly to its predictability and to precautions recommended to minimize the frequency of this potenti...
متن کاملPulmonary oedema: physiological considerations.
In this paper I propose to attempt to evaluate our knowledge of the mechanisms of acute pulmonary oedema in experimental animals, and to enquire how far it can be applied to our understanding of the phenomenon in man. Our knowledge of the mechanisms of lung oedema is extremely meagre; yet in some respects it may be integrated, with advantage to future investigations. The first issue which shoul...
متن کاملImmersion pulmonary oedema
Pulmonary oedema of immersion is a rare complication of scuba diving. A case and brief discussion of the differential diagnosis and pathophysiology are presented. Onset of symptoms typically occurs during the dive, and is characterized by dyspnoea, cough and frothy sputum. Spontaneous recovery frequently occurs once the diver leaves the water. If investigated, the findings are of hypoxaemia and...
