Negative Pressure Pulmonary Edema after Laryngospasm: A Revisit with a Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laryngospasm, a brief closure of the vocal cords is not an uncommon perioperative occurrence. If recognized and managed appropriately, the effects are transient and reversible. However, in rare cases where recognition and management are delayed, the consequences are associated with a high morbidity including desaturation, awareness, negative pressure pulmonary edema, and mortality. This case highlights that of a healthy woman admitted the intensive care unit (ICU) for negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) after an episode of laryngospasm.

Postoperative negative pressure pulmonary edema following repetitive laryngospasm even after reversal of neuromuscular blockade by sugammadex: a case report
Laryngospasm, an occlusion of the glottis, can occur at any time during anesthesia, and is associated with serious perioperative complications such as hypoxia, hypercabia, aspiration, bronchospasm, arrhythmia, prolonged recovery, cardiac collapse, and eventually catastrophic death. Importantly, postoperative negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a rare, but well described life-threatening...
متن کاملLaryngospasm-induced pulmonary edema.
We report the case of a 6-month-old child who developed acute pulmonary edema because of laryngeal spasm during orthopedic manipulations for congenital hip dysplasia. Laryngospasm was probably secondary to an unsuspected light level of anesthesia, maintained via face mask. No other predisposing factors, such as enlarged adenoid tonsils, laryngitis, epiglottitis, mechanical stimulation of the la...
متن کاملPulmonary haemorrhage associated with negative-pressure pulmonary oedema: a case report.
Negative-pressure pulmonary oedema caused by upper airway obstruction after tracheal extubation is well recognised, but extensive pulmonary haemorrhage is rare. We report a case of post-extubation, laryngospasm-induced pulmonary oedema with associated pulmonary haemorrhage. The patient required mechanical ventilation with high positive end-expiratory pressure.

Acute airway obstruction can result in life - threatening pulmonary edema. It can develop rapidly, without warning, in otherwise healthy patients. Negative pressure pulmonary edema has been described after acute airway obstruction in situations when a patient is breathing against an obstructed airway such as croup, epiglottitis or laryngospasm. In the following case, we observed a rare occurren...

Acute postoperative negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a respiratory complication due to acute airway obstruction (UAO) that occurs shortly after extubation of patients who under general anesthesia (incidence 0.05 to 0.1%) Usually, this complication develops in healthy young patients, capable of generating high negative intrathoracic pressures (NIP), which is the catalyst in the pathop...
