Independent Lung Ventilation for Reexpansion Pulmonary Edema*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reexpansion pulmonary oedema (RPE) is a rare but potentially fatal complication with no clear cut guidelines for its management. When the injury to the lung is primarily one sided, conventional modes of ventilation can be ineffective and at times harmful. Selective or independent lung ventilation (ILV) is one of the therapeutic modality that can be used for the treatment of such cases. We report the successful treatment of reexpansion pulmonary oedema in 19-year-old boy using independent lung ventilation.

متن کاملContralateral reexpansion pulmonary edema with ipsilateral collapsed lung after pleural effusion drainage: a case report
Reexpansion pulmonary edema is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when a collapsed lung reexpands, usually in the same side of collapsed lung. We present a rare case in which a 57-year-old Korean man had a large amount of malignant pleural effusion. After undergoing tube thoracostomy drainage for the pleural effusion, a contralateral reexpansion pulmonary edema develo...
متن کاملReexpansion pulmonary edema.
When a rapidly reexpanding lung has been in a state of collapse for more than several days, pulmonary edema sometimes occurs in it. This is called reexpansion pulmonary edema (RPE). In this article, I present my views on the history, clinical features, morphophysiological features, pathogenesis, and treatment of RPE. Histological abnormalities of the pulmonary microvessels in a chronically coll...

Reexpansion pulmonary edema (RPE) is a rare complication that can occur after rapid reinflation of the lung following thoracentesis of a pleural effusion or chest tube drainage of pneumothorax. The severity in clinical presentation can be widely varied from radiographic changes only to rapidly progressive respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. The quick nature of onset and potent...
