Sodium nitroprusside on acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema in dogs: case reports

Noninvasive ventilation in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema.

BACKGROUND Noninvasive ventilation (continuous positive airway pressure [CPAP] or noninvasive intermittent positive-pressure ventilation [NIPPV]) appears to be of benefit in the immediate treatment of patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema and may reduce mortality. We conducted a study to determine whether noninvasive ventilation reduces mortality and whether there are important differ...

Hydrochlorothiazide-induced acute non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema.

We report the case of a 64 year-old male with non cardiogenic pulmonary edema episodes after oral administration of 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide. In vitro immunologic study with basophil activation test and late cellular activation study (CD69 and production of interferon gamma) with chlorothiazide were performed, and no activation was observed. As a consequence, like in previous cases publis...

Non-Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema

Non-Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema

T he barrier between pulmonary capillaries and alveolar gas consists of a series of three anatomical layers with distinct structural characteristics. The cytoplasmic projections of the capillary endothelial cells represent the first layer of this barrier and overlap to form a continuous cytoplasmic tube. At the overlapping junctions of these cytoplasmic projections are clefts of varying sizes (...
