Pulmonary oedema in healthy persons during scuba-diving and swimming.
The prevalence of pulmonary oedema during scuba-diving is unknown. In our referral centre for diving accidents we have observed several episodes of pulmonary oedema in four previously healthy persons while scuba-diving or swimming. Four events were documented by physical findings, typical chest radiographic changes, and arterial hypoxaemia. Four additional episodes were identified in one of the...
متن کاملAqua jogging-induced pulmonary oedema.
The case study by WENGER and RUSSI [1], of pulmonary oedema occuring during aqua jogging, is interesting. Aqua jogging certainly lowers the burden to joints and tendons as compared with land running. Conversely, running or cycling at sustained intensity may lead to higher burden to lung tissue in water than on ground. In water, the exercising mechanical strain [2] is strengthened by congestion ...
متن کاملHigh altitude-induced pulmonary oedema.
Almost one mountain trekker or climber out of two develops several symptoms of high altitude illness after a rapid ascent (> 300 m/day) to an altitude above 4000 m. Individual susceptibility is the most important determinant for the occurrence of high altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE). Symptoms associated with HAPE are incapacitating fatigue, chest tightness, dyspnoea at the slightest effort, or...
متن کاملCASE STUDY Aqua jogging-induced pulmonary oedema
The present study reports the case of a 43-yr-old very sporty male, who developed shortness of breath and expectorated bloody froth during aqua jogging. Pulmonary oedema was diagnosed clinically and by computed tomography of the chest. The patient made a full recovery and his echocardiography was entirely normal. Pulmonary oedema occurring in healthy scuba-divers and swimmers has been reported ...
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...
