| Popis: | Pulmonary oedema following general anaesthesia or extubation is an uncommon and unpredictable clinical entity. This unusual disease is actually attributed to pulmonary and haemodynamic changes engendered by high negative intra-thoracic pressures during the state of obstructed respiration. We report a case of postoperative pulmonary oedema in a previously healthy 35-year-old female with post-extubation laryngospasm. The patient responded rapidly to conservative management including removal of secretions, re-intubation, oxygen therapy with positive pressure ventilation and administration of diuretics with short term antibiotics. This report emphasizes the importance of rapid identification and proper management of this serious condition. |
