چکیده

We compared the effects of cardiogenic pulmonary edema, brief pulmonary vascular congestion without frank edema, and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema on responsiveness to inhaled histamine in chronically instrumented awake sheep. Histamine responsiveness was measured before and after 1) cardiogenic pulmonary edema induced by raising left atrial pressure to 35 cmH2O (Pla) for 3.5 h by partial obstruction of flow across the mitral valve, 2) brief cardiogenic congestion via Pla for 0.5 h, 3) noncardiogenic pulmonary edema induced by 25 mg/kg intravenous perilla ketone (PK), and 4) 3.5 h of monitoring without Pla or PK (controls). Treatment for 3.5 h with Pla (n = 9) and PK (n = 11) each significantly lessened the histamine dose required to cause a fall to 65% of baseline dynamic lung compliance (ED65Cdyn), i.e., increased responsiveness. Sheep treated for 0.5 h with Pla (n = 7) and controls (n = 5) showed no significant change in ED65Cdyn. Intravenous atropine (0.1 mg/kg) before the second histamine challenge altered neither the reduction of ED65Cdyn in Pla (n = 8) and PK (n = 9) sheep nor the ED65Cdyn level of controls (n = 9). These data imply that the local effects of edema, rather than bronchial vascular hemodynamics, cholinergic reflexes, and permeability changes, are germane to lung hyperresponsiveness during pulmonary edema in sheep.

Radiology 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 ...

Small solute clearance from the lungs of patients with cardiogenic and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema.

The regional clearance of 99mTc-diethylenetriamine penta-acetate (99mTc-DTPA) from the lungs was measured in 14 patients with noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, six patients with acute pulmonary edema secondary to heart failure, and 29 normal subjects. The radionuclide was delivered in an aerosol which was inhaled for 120 seconds, and the subsequent decline of radioactivity from the lungs was moni...

Pulmonary Edema: A Unifying Pathophysiological Formula

Pulmonary edema is a significant complication of a number of disease and conditions. Its main manifestation is the leakage of fluid from the pulmonary capillaries into the cavity of the alveoli through the alveolar-capillary membrane. This leads to a number of severe clinical manifestations and requires immediate treatment. The underlying mechanisms causing this complication include cardiogenic...

Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema complicating massive diltiazem overdose.

Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema has not been previously described in calcium channel blocker overdose. We describe a case of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema occurring during the course of therapy for massive diltiazem overdose in a young patient with anorexia nervosa. Review of the current literature suggests that major and minor pulmonary complications occur with some frequency in the setting ...
