Responses of pulmonary C-fibre and rapidly adapting receptor afferents to pulmonary congestion and edema in dogs. Ravi K, Kappagoda CT. Division of Cardiology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. The effects of cardiogenic and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema on the activities of rapidly adapting receptors (RARs) and pulmonary C-fibre receptors were investigated in dogs anaesthetized with chloralose. Cardiogenic pulmonary edema was produced by elevating the mean left atrial pressure by 25 mmHg (1 mmHg = 133.32 Pa) above the control value ...

Postoperative unilateral pulmonary edema: possible amiodarone pulmonary toxicity. Herndon JC, Cook AO, Ramsay MA, Swygert TH, Capehart J. Department of Anesthesia, Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas, Texas 75246. PMID: 1736706 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

The authors present two cases of unsuccessful hanging which hat lead to a very severe neurological picture and especially the very rapid appearance of acute pulmonary edema resulting in a vertiable flooding of the alveoli. The victims, aged respectively 21 and 15 years, were free from any pre-existing cardiopathy. These cases of pulmonary edema, resistant to depletive therapy (bleeding, diuretics) and cardiotonic agents (Cedilanid) should only be jugulated after a one hour session of oxygen at 3 ATA with a baro-assisted respirator. The followin...

Pulmonary edema in pregnancy. Witry SW. University of Virginia Health Sciences Center, Charlottesville 22908. Normal cardiovascular and respiratory changes in pregnancy can predispose women to the development of pulmonary edema. Conditions and treatments unique to pregnancy, such as multiple gestation or tocolysis, further increase this risk. Recognition of risk factors and signs and symptoms of pulmonary edema allows the nurse to intervene quickly, thus decreasing potential complications to the mother and child.

[Neurogenic pulmonary edema] [Article in Danish] Staach LJ, Schultz A, Knudsen F. Anaestesiologisk/intensiv afdeling, Aalborg Sygehus Syd. Neurogenic pulmonary oedema (NPE) is a recognized, serious, relatively uncommon, acute complication of cerebral insults of various types. Despite numerous animal experimental investigations and case reports, the pathological physiology is not yet elucidated. An acute cerebral insult with raised intracranial pressure is accompanied by violent activation of the sympathetic system and increase in the co...
