Acute pulmonary non-cardiogenic edema after extubation with laryngospasm: a case report

Hydrochlorothiazide-induced acute non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema.

We report the case of a 64 year-old male with non cardiogenic pulmonary edema episodes after oral administration of 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide. In vitro immunologic study with basophil activation test and late cellular activation study (CD69 and production of interferon gamma) with chlorothiazide were performed, and no activation was observed. As a consequence, like in previous cases publis...

Negative Pressure Pulmonary Edema after Laryngospasm: A Revisit with a Case Report

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 hi...

Non-Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema

Non-Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema

T he barrier between pulmonary capillaries and alveolar gas consists of a series of three anatomical layers with distinct structural characteristics. The cytoplasmic projections of the capillary endothelial cells represent the first layer of this barrier and overlap to form a continuous cytoplasmic tube. At the overlapping junctions of these cytoplasmic projections are clefts of varying sizes (...
