NPPE • First described in JAMA by Oswalt in 1977 • Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema following UAO1,2 • No good data describing incidence2,6
Risk factors • Young • Healthy • Athletic • Male • Head and neck surgery
Patho-physiology • Airway obstruction (even brief)1,2,3,4,5,6,7 • Negative intrathoracic pressure (Mueller maneuver) • Increased pulmonary intravascular volume • Pulmonary capillary hydrostatic pressure overcomes pulmonary interstitial hydrostatic pressure • Aveolar-capillary membrane failure
The EDEMA • Usually follows in the minutes after the obstruction in relieved • Ranges from • discernable only on CXR • the classic pink frothy foam • recently described frank blood (NPPH)4
Treatment • Prevent re-obstruction • Ensure adequate ventilation and oxygenation • Fluid restriction +/- diuresis • Radiographs can be obtained to confirm dx
