Inhaled nitric oxide for high-altitude pulmonary edema [PDF]
BACKGROUND. Pulmonary hypertension is a hallmark of high-altitude pulmonary edema and may contribute to its pathogenesis. When administered by inhalation, nitric oxide, an endothelium-derived relaxing factor, attenuates the pulmonary vasoconstriction ...

Salmeterol for the prevention of high-altitude pulmonary edema. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary edema results from a persistent imbalance between forces that drive water into the air space and the physiologic mechanisms that remove it.

New insights into the mechanisms of pulmonary edema in acute lung injury.
Appearance of alveolar protein-rich edema is an early event in the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Alveolar edema in ARDS results from a significant increase in the permeability of the alveolar epithelial barrier, and ...

Pulmonary Edema: Classification, Mechanisms of Development, Diagnosis
Pulmonary edema remains a topical problem of modern reanimatology. In clinical practice, there is a need for continuous monitoring of the content of extravascular water in the lung and the pulmonary vascular permeability index for the timely detection ...

Anesthetic management of pulmonary endarterectomy in a patient with suprasystemic pulmonary pressure: a case report [PDF]
Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is a potentially curative procedure for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. A 34-year Indian male presented with supra-systemic pulmonary pressure was taken for PEA after achievable optimization. A successful PEA

Neurological Perspectives of Neurogenic Pulmonary Edema
Background: Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is characterized by acute respiratory distress triggered by acute, severe compromise of the central nervous system (CNS).

Preoperative neurogenic pulmonary edema: A dilemma for decision making
Neurogenic pulmonary edema may be a less-recognized consequence of obstructive hydrocephalus. The authors report a patient with acute obstructive hydrocephalus due to cerebellar metastatic lesion, who presented with neurogenic pulmonary edema.

Ultrasound patterns of pulmonary edema.
Since its first description in 1967 (1), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) represents a well known major clinical problem in intensive care units (ICUs), carrying a high morbidity and mortality. Differentiating between hydrostatic or cardiogenic

An update on environment-induced pulmonary edema – “When the lungs leak under water and in thin air”
Acute pulmonary edema is a serious condition that may occur as a result of increased hydrostatic forces within the lung microvasculature or increased microvascular permeability.

Flash Pulmonary Edema in a Patient With Unilateral Renal Artery Stenosis and Bilateral Functioning Kidneys [PDF]
Flash pulmonary edema typically exhibits sudden onset and resolves rapidly. It generally is associated with bilateral renal artery stenosis or unilateral stenosis in conjunction with a single functional kidney.
