Early postoperative complication called negative pressure pulmonary edema seen in a young athletic male

Postobstrüktif pulmoner ödem, üst havayolu obstrüksiyonun iyi bilinen bir komplikasyonudur. Negatif basınç pulmoner ödem (NBPÖ) genel anestezi alan hastalarda özellikle uyanma sırasında görülen hayatı tehdit eden bir komplikasy ondur. Laringospazm kaynaklı üst hava yolu obstrüksiyonu aşırı negatif ihtratorasik basınç oluşturan zorlu inspirasyona yol açar ve negatif basınç pulmoner ödeme neden olur. Bu olguda operasyondan hemen sonra NBPÖ gelişen genç atletik bir erkek hastayı sunmayı amaçladık. Bu olgu NBPÖ tanı ve tedavisinin yanında ayrıca NBPÖ'den korunmanın önemini de hatırlatmaktadır.

Genç atletik erkekte gelişen negatif basınç pulmoner ödem: Olgu sunumu

Postobstructive pulmonary edema is a well-recognized complication of upper airway obstruction. Negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a potentially life-threatening complication especially during emergence in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Laryngospasm-mediated upper airway obstruction leads to forced inspiration generating excessive negative intrathoracic pressure and causes negative pressure pulmonary edema. In this paper we report a young athletic man who developed NPPE immediately after operation. This paper aims to not only to report the diagnose and treatment of NPPE but also to remind the importance of prevention NPPE.
