Re-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 کاملRe-Expansion Pulmonary Oedema: Conservative Management & Favourable Outcome
We present a case of re-expansion pulmonary oedema manifest during drainage of a large malignant pleural effusion managed by prompt supportive measures without need for invasive ventilation aids or pharmacological therapy. Conservative therapy was followed by favourable clinical outcome.
متن کاملRe-expansion pulmonary oedema: is its prevention possible?
lungs are re-expanded rapidly, it is seen with short duration collapse and re-expansion without suction (in 15 of 47 cases available for assessment). Most cases were following pneu-mothoraces; 7 following effusion drainage. The volumes were between 1000 ml and 4500 ml. Laws et al. w13x and Antunes et al. w14x documented the BTS's advice on the evacuation of pneumothoraces and pleural effusions....
متن کاملRe-expansion pulmonary oedema and pleural bleeding following suction drainage of pneumothorax
We report a case of a 26-year-old male with a large left-sided spontaneous pneumothorax, whose manifestations developed 5 days prior to hospitalisation. Suction drainage was complicated by unilateral re-expansion pulmonary oedema (REPO) and bleeding into the left pleural cavity. During thoracotomy oozing of blood from multiple sites on the pleural surface was observed. Both the temporal relatio...
متن کاملChanges in pulmonary microvascular permeability accompanying re-expansion oedema: evidence from dual isotope scintigraphy.
The pathophysiological mechanism of pulmonary oedema following rapid re-expansion of a collapsed lung is poorly understood. It has been suggested that the period of collapse or subsequent reinflation produces an increase in pulmonary microvascular permeability. To investigate this, the pulmonary accumulation of the plasma protein transferrin was measured by radiolabelling it in vivo with indium...
