Pulmonary edema after re-expansion of a pneumothorax occurs within a maximum of 3 days of the pneumothorax and manifests by intense clinical signs (cough, abundant foamy expectoration, major cyanosis), marked hypoxia and a "white lung" radiologic image. The outcome was rapidly favorable in the case

The case is a 48-year-old female who presented with mild dyspnea on exertion and cough with unremarkable vital signs and was found to have a large right sided pneumothorax. She underwent small bore chest tube decompression with immediate reexpansion of the collapsed lung. However, she rapidly

Pneumothorax after reexpansion pulmonary edema: experience with 2 patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

Thoracentesis is one of the most commonly performed medical procedures with an excellent safety profile. We describe 2 patients, both of whom developed 2 very rare complications after image-guided thoracentesis. Both patients developed clinically relevant reexpansion pulmonary edema (RPE). Within 2

It is reported on a 51-year-old patient in whom a reexpansion edema of the lung occurred after treatment of a pneumothorax. As a cause of the development of this complication, a high negative intrathoracic pressure is of high importance. Further pathogenetic factors are discussed.

Fulminant unilateral pulmonary edema after insertion of a chest tube: a complication after a primary spontaneous pneumothorax.

BACKGROUND The insertion of a chest tube in cases of large pleural effusion or spontaneous pneumothorax is a common surgical procedure often performed by a physician in training under the supervision of a senior physician. METHODS The authors report the case of a 35-year-old man with a persistent,

OBJECTIVE Several risk factors for development of reexpansion pulmonary edema (REPE) after drainage of pneumothoraces have been reported, but the association between the method of thoracostomy and the development of REPE is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of REPE after

[Reexpansion pulmonary edema and pleural bleeding after suction drainage of pneumothorax].

Only registered users can translate articles

We present a case of 26 years old man with large spontaneous pneumothorax of about 5 days duration. Application of suction drainage was complicated by unilateral reexpansion pulmonary edema (REPE) and hemothorax developed during first 24 hours of treatment. On thoracotomy multifocal superficial

Reexpansion pulmonary edema after resolution of tension pneumothorax in the contralateral lung of a previously lung injured patient.

We present the case of a 19-year-old woman who developed sudden severe left-sided tension pneumothorax in the recovery room after undergoing a 6-hour open reduction and internal fixation of an anterior and posterior pelvic fracture sustained in a motor vehicle accident 4 days prior to surgery.

[A case of anesthetic management for re-expansion pulmonary edema of the dependent lung saved by superimposed HFJV during one lung ventilation for the thoracoscopic operation associated with bilateral pneumothorax].

Only registered users can translate articles

A 21-year-old male with bilateral pneumothorax underwent thoracoscopic bullaectomy in the lateral decubitus position. General anesthesia was induced using thiopental 250 mg and suxamethonium 80 mg and maintained using the combination of the thoracic-epidural anesthesia with assisted spontaneous

Ipsilateral reexpansion pulmonary edema after drainage of a spontaneous pneumothorax: a case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a case of ipsilateral reexpansion pulmonary edema occurring after the insertion of a chest tube in a patient with spontaneous pneumothorax. The patient received supplemental oxygen via a non-rebreather face mask to compensate for hypoxemia. 24 hours after the acute event, the patient

Adenocarcinoma masked by re-expansion pulmonary edema after chest drainage for pneumothorax.

Only registered users can translate articles

Re-expansion pulmonary edema is a rare complication that may occur after chest drainage performed for pneumothorax. This condition manifests as areas of ground-glass opacities (GGO) and septal thickening on imaging studies. In the case reported here, chest computed tomography (CT) showed diffuse

Reexpansion pulmonary edema after treatment of simultaneous bilateral spontaneous tension pneumothorax.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report a case of 46-year-old male with simultaneous bilateral spontaneous tension pneumothorax. Severe reexpansion pulmonary edema developed after bilateral tube thoracoscomy, but he was recovered after 2 days ventilator care. After bilateral wedge resection and talc pleurodesis, he was

Re-expansion pulmonary edema in a patient with total pneumothorax: a hazardous outcome.

Only registered users can translate articles

Re-expansion pulmonary edema (REPE) is a rare complication of treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax or large pleural effusions. As a complication of spontaneous pneumothorax treatment, only few cases are documented, and even fewer document the role of non-invasive continuous positive airway pressure

[Re-expansion pulmonary edema after iatrogenic pneumothorax. A propos of 1 case].

Only registered users can translate articles

Re-expansion pulmonary edema (RPE) due to pneumothorax aspiration can lead to a fatal outcome, as in the case reported, the chronic nutritional deficiency and hypoproteinemia that it provokes probably playing a contributing role. Pathogenesis and factors affecting prognosis of RPE are discussed.

Fatal re-expansion pulmonary edema in a young adult following tube thoracostomy for spontaneous pneumothorax.

Only registered users can translate articles

Re-expansion pulmonary edema (RPE) is a rare but potentially fatal complication that can occur following rapid lung expansion while managing patients with pleural effusion or pneumothorax. In this case, fatal outcome occurred due to RPE in a previously healthy young adult male patient subsequent to
