A Case of Noncardiogenic Pulmonary Edema by Ethanolamine Oleate
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endoscopic injection of sclerosing agents is a strategy for control of esophageal varix bleeding. Five percent solution of ethanolamine oleate(EO) has been used as sclerosing agent. It is well known that intravascular injection of oleic acid induces acute respiratory failure in animal models. However, EO-induced noncardiogenic pulmonary edema has not been reported in human. We report a case of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema developed after therapeutic trial of EO as sclerosing agent for esophageal varix.

Splenic infarction: an unusual complication of ethanolamine oleate injection.
Sclerotherapy with ethanolamine oleate is an acceptable approach for treating esophageal varices, peptic ulcer disease, and Dieulafoy s lesions. Most of the re− ported complications associated with ethanolamine oleate have been anecdotal and include portal/mesenteric vein thrombosis [1], hepatotoxicity [2], acute renal failure [3], purulent meningitis [4], noncardiogenic pulmonary edema [5], sp...
متن کاملChronic pulmonary emboli. Sparing of affected regions of lung from noncardiogenic pulmonary edema.
In chronic pulmonary emboli, lung perfusion may be maintained by either recanalization of occluded pulmonary artery segments or collateral bronchial circulation. We present a case of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema superimposed on chronic pulmonary emboli, in which the occluded segments of lung were spared from pulmonary edema, but not from neutrophil infiltration. This case demonstrates that ch...
متن کاملNoncardiogenic Pulmonary Edema after Amlodipine Overdose without Refractory Hypotension and Bradycardia
Amlodipine overdose can be life-threatening when manifesting as noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Treatment remains challenging. We describe a case of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema without refractory hypotension and bradycardia after ingestion of 500 milligram amlodipine with suicidal intent. Mechanical ventilation, dexamethasone, atrovent HFA (ipratropium), pulmicort inhalation, and antibiotic ...
متن کاملRadiology corner. Case 45. Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema as a result of urosepsis.
The authors present the case of a patient with noncardiogenic pulmonary edema as a result of urosepsis. We explain the physiologic and radiographic differences between cardiogenic and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. We also discuss some specific types of pulmonary edema and the radiographic findings that are commonly present. In addition, we define sepsis and the physiologic effect that it has ...
متن کاملDextran 40: another cause of drug-induced noncardiogenic pulmonary edema.
Drug-induced noncardiogenic pulmonary edema occurred in a previously patient receiving dextran 40. Dextran 40 should be considered another etiologic factor of drug-induced noncardiogenic pulmonary edema when this syndrome occurs in the absence of known precipitating causes such as shock, aspiration, and overwhelming pneumonia.
