Neurogenic pulmonary oedema.
نویسنده
چکیده
Neurogenic pulmonary oedema followed a subarachnoid haemorrhage secondary to an arteriovenous malformation in an eight-year-old boy. Despite a complicated course, he made a full recovery. Neurogenic pulmonary oedema is rare in childhood. It is sudden in onset, and potentially fatal, but is amenable to prompt and vigorous treatment.

متن کاملUse of prone ventilation in neurogenic pulmonary oedema.
We present a case of neurogenic pulmonary oedema (NPO) due to subarachnoid haemorrhage that resulted in hypoxia refractory to conventional mechanical ventilation. Prone positioning was employed, resulting in rapid and sustained improvement in oxygenation. We discuss the pathogenesis of NPO and the mechanism of action of prone ventilation. Prone ventilation may be of value in the management of N...
متن کاملA clinically authentic mouse model of enterovirus 71 (EV-A71)-induced neurogenic pulmonary oedema
Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) is a neurotropic virus that sporadically causes fatal neurologic illness among infected children. Animal models of EV-A71 infection exist, but they do not recapitulate in animals the spectrum of disease and pathology observed in fatal human cases. Specifically, neurogenic pulmonary oedema (NPE)-the main cause of EV-A71 infection-related mortality-is not observed in any o...
