Popis: We present a case of type I negative pressure pulmonary edema in a healthy 17-year-old boy who underwent an emergent appendectomy under general anesthesia. The particularity of our case revolves around the administration of meperidine for perioperative shivering, along with other anesthetic risk factors, which may have served as the trigger of type I negative pressure pulmonary edema.We present the pathophysiological mechanisms, the formulation of clinical and paraclinical diagnosis and the principles of intensive care therapy. This was the first such case experienced in our practice, with a remarkable learning opportunity.
