Intraoperative solumedrol helps prevent postpneumonectomy pulmonary edema.
BACKGROUND Postpneumonectomy pulmonary edema and pneumonia are life threatening and seemingly unavoidable complications after pneumonectomy. We theorized that an intraoperative dose of intravenous steroids (as a prophylactic measure to reduce pulmonary injury to the remaining lung) just before pulmonary artery ligation might decrease this problem. METHODS Seventy-two patients (52 men) who had...
متن کاملPostpneumonectomy pulmonary oedema.
The occurrence of pulmonary oedema was studied retrospectively in 243 patients who underwent pneumonectomy in one hospital from 1975 to 1984. Pulmonary oedema developed in eight of 113 patients who had a right sided pneumonectomy and in three of 130 patients undergoing a left sided procedure. It occurred more commonly in patients requiring a second thoracotomy because of blood loss (in three ou...
متن کاملPostpneumonectomy pulmonary oedema revisited.
Postoperative pulmonary oedema occurs early post-operatively (>6 h) and is associated with a net fluid overload. A recent survey of 8,195 major operations showed an incidence of 7.6%, with a mortality of 11.9% [1]. Post-pneumonectomy pulmonary oedema (PPO) occurs after pneumonectomy [2] or lung resection [3], in the absence of left ventricular dysfunction or infection. The overall incidence is ...
متن کاملMathematical Modelling of Pulmonary Edema
The excess accumulation of water in lung interstitial or alveolar is called pulmonary edema which is caused by factors that upset the normal Starling balance in micro-circulation. Pulmonary edema disturbs the alveolar gas exchanges which are normally regulated by the respiratory system. Mathematical modelling of pulmonary edema may help to predict the lung conditions and the mechanisms involved...
