One hundred nineteen patients admitted to the coronary care unit with pulmonary edema were retrospectively reviewed to identify the demographic characteristics and underlying cardiac disorders of this population. The patients with pulmonary edema were compared with 119 patients admitted to the
In the critically ill or clinically unstable patient, echocardiography is particularly useful in that it provides a safe, painless, and yet reliable bedside method for evaluating the anatomy and physiology of the heart. In addition to diagnostic information, serial echocardiograms may be obtained as
A case of maternal pulmonary edema occurring in a patient in the 32nd week of gestation is presented. This was our first case of pulmonary edema seen during a period of five years' usage of isoxsuprine in the treatment of premature labor. The patient presented was 28 years old, gravida 2, para 1,
A 23-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of chest pain and dyspnea. X-ray and computed tomography showed left tension hemopneumothorax. After the emergent surgery, re-expansion pulmonary edema (RPE) occurred. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) was applied to control RPE
BACKGROUND
Acute pulmonary edema (APE) is a common cause of acute dyspnea. In the prehospital setting, it is often difficult to differentiate APE from other causes of shortness of breath (SOB). Radiography and echocardiography aid in the identification of APE but are often not available. There is
A 44-year-old female was presented to our department with a 4-day history of shortness of breath and chest pain. The chest X-ray showed pneumothorax with completely collapsed left lung. Thoracentesis was performed. She complained of dyspnea and the oxygen saturation decreased to 74% after
An 84-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of chest pain, respiratory distress, and a purpuric rash. Initial chest imaging showed bilateral patchy and confluent opacities, a finding consistent with pulmonary edema. A diagnostic procedure was performed.
Syncope is defined as a transient loss of consciousness and postural tone, characterized by rapid onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery. Stellate ganglion block (SGB) is a nerve block method that is used for treatment of neuropathic pain in the head, neck and upper extremities, especially
In the evaluation of patients with chest pain it is crucial to differentiate between cardiac and non-cardiac etiology. In turn, acute chest pain of cardiac origin includes many clinical entities. The combination of elevated cardiac serum markers, particularly troponin, with typical clinical
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is the most serious complication of ovulation induction with exogenous gonadotropins, such as human menopausal gonadotropin and follicle-stimulating hormone. These hormones are considered to increase capillary permeability and cause third space fluid shift.
