Postpneumonectomy 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 کاملIntraoperative 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 کاملRe-expansion pulmonary oedema.
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 potenti...
متن کاملPulmonary oedema: physiological considerations.
In this paper I propose to attempt to evaluate our knowledge of the mechanisms of acute pulmonary oedema in experimental animals, and to enquire how far it can be applied to our understanding of the phenomenon in man. Our knowledge of the mechanisms of lung oedema is extremely meagre; yet in some respects it may be integrated, with advantage to future investigations. The first issue which shoul...
