Negative pressure pulmonary oedema after septoplasty.
Negative pressure pulmonary oedema (NPPO) is an anaesthetic complication due to acute obstruction of the upper airway, whose main cause is laryngospasm. The pathophysiology involves a strong negative intrapleural pressure during inspiration against a closed glottis, which triggers excessive pressure in the pulmonary microvasculature. Although its diagnosis can be difficult, its recognition help...
متن کاملNegative pressure post-tracheal extubation alveolar hemorrhage.
N egative pressure pulmonary edema is an uncommon complication of extubation of the trachea (>0.1%) mostly caused by laryngospasm (1). Upper airway obstruction from glottis closure leads to marked inspiratory efforts, which generate very negative intrathoracic pressure. This may cause pulmonary edema (1,2) and, rarely, hemoptysis (3,4). This report is the first to document both bronchoscopic an...
متن کاملNegative pressure pulmonary oedema.
EDITOR: Negative pressure pulmonary oedema is a medical emergency that usually arises from attempted ventilations against an acutely obstructed upper airway, such as the one that occurs during laryngospasm, resulting in transudation of fluid from pulmonary capillaries to the interstitium. Frequently, this occurs in the perioperative period when general anaesthesia is used. Clinicians should pro...
متن کاملRecurrent negative pressure pulmonary edema.
An African-American man, aged 34 years, underwent an elective uncomplicated right wrist laceration repair while under general anesthesia. Following extubation, the patient developed hypoxemia, tachypnea, shortness of breath, pulmonary rales, frothy sputum, decreased oxygen saturation, and evidence of upper airway obstruction. Chest radiograph showed pulmonary edema. The patient was diagnosed wi...
متن کاملNegative pressure pulmonary oedema: a rare complication following general anaesthesia.
An important cause of pulmonary oedema is Negative Pressure Pulmonary Oedema (NPPE) which characteristically develops soon after extubation from an endo-tracheal intubation. In this case report we identified a case of previously healthy man who was intubated for General Anaesthesia for extraction of impacted molar tooth. Soon after extubation he developed severe respiratory distress. Immediate ...
