Re-expansion pulmonary oedema.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clinical details are given of two patients who developed ipsilateral pulmonary oedema following re-expansion of their spontaneous pneumothoraces by intercostal drainage of air. The possible mechanisms underlying the oedema are discussed, and prior literature is analysed. Reference is made particularly to its predictability and to precautions recommended to minimize the frequency of this potentially fatal complication in the management of spontaneous pneumothorax.

متن کاملRecurrent re-expansion pulmonary oedema complicating rapid decompression of large pneumothoraces.
A young male who developed ipsilateral pulmonary oedema on two occasions as a complication of treatment of pneumothoraces involving the left lung is reported. The importance of large pneumothoraces, the rapidity of decompression and the application of suction to the pleural space as factors predisposing to the development of re-expansion pulmonary oedema is well demonstrated by this case. The r...

متن کاملRe-expansion pulmonary oedema following one-lung ventilation--a case report.
Acute ipsilateral or bilateral pulmonary oedema following lung re-expansion after pleurocentesis or treatment of pneumothorax is an unusual clinical phenomenon that may have serious consequences. It usually occurs when the chronically collapsed lung is rapidly re-expanded. There are, however, no reported cases of this complication following one-lung ventilation used to facilitate surgery. A rep...
