Abstract

We present a case of pulmonary edema following acute upper airway obstruction in an adult patient. This form of acute pulmonary edema appears to be related to markedly negative intrathoracic pressure due to forced inspiration against an obstructed upper airway.A 56-year-old healthy woman was scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. Following extubation, the patient developed upper airway obstruction secondary to laryngospasm and/or laryngeal edema, which might have been triggered by the removal of the endotracheal tube with its cuff still inflated. The patient suddenly developed dyspnea, tachypnea, and hypoxemia and expectorated pink frothy secretions after relief of airway obstruction. Chest radiography revealed vascular pedicle enlargement with bilateral alveolar and interstitial infiltrates. Clinical findings and chest radiograph improved after 4hr of intermittent continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy with 10 cmH2O, FiO2 1.0.Negative pressure pulmonary edema usually resolves rapidly with noninvasive mechanical ventilation. If the negative pressure pulmonary edema is mild aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic interventions should be avoided. The principal goals for management are early diagnosis and provision of adequate arterial oxygenation by the maintenance of airway.

Özet

Bu yazıda, akut üst hava yolu obstrüksiyonu sonrası pulmoner ödem gelişen erişkin bir olgu sunulmuştur. Bu formdaki pulmoner ödem, kapalı üst hava yoluna karşı yapılan zorlu inspirasyona bağlı negatif intratorasik basınçtaki belirgin artış ile ilişkili gözükmektedir.56 yaşındaki sağlıklı kadın olguya, genel anestezi altında elektif laparoskopik kolesistektomi ameliyatı planlandı. Olguda, laringospazm ve/veya laringeal ödeme bağlı ekstübasyon sonrası üst hava yolu obstrüksiyonu gelişti. Olgunun endotrakeal tüp kafı indirilmeden ekstübe edilmesinin, bu durumu tetiklemiş olabileceği düşünüldü. Hava yolu obstrüksiyonu düzeldikten hemen sonra, olguda ani olarak dispne, takipne ve hipoksemi geliştiği ve olgunun pembe köpüklü sekresyon çıkardığı görüldü. Akciğer radyografisinde, vasküler pediküllerde genişleme ve bilateral yaygın alveoler ve interstisyel infiltrasyonlar izlendi. Aralıklı olarak 4 saat süreyle devamlı pozitif hava yolu basıncı (CPAP 10 cmH2O, FiO2 1.0) tedavisi sonrası, olgunun fizik muayene bulguları ve PA akciğer radyografisi normale döndü.Negatif basınçlı pulmoner ödem, genellikle noninvaziv mekanik ventilasyon tedavisi ile hızlı bir şekilde rezorbe olur. Eğer hafif derecede negatif basınçlı pulmoner ödem düşünülüyorsa, tanı ve tedaviye yönelik agresif girişimlerden kaçınılmalıdır. Bu durumun erken tanınması ve hava yolunun korunarak yeterli arteriyel oksijenasyonun sağlanması, tedavideki ana prensiplerdir.
