ABSTRACT

It is not strange that during daily anesthetic practice, we meet patients without chronic conditions that explain the development of acute pulmonary edema during the perioperative period. The negative pressure pulmonary edema has been reported in the literature even in healthy patients, as a good prognosis entity in the perioperative with an appropriate multidisciplinary treatment. We report a case of a 29 years old patient with not known pathologies medical history, he underwent resection of lipoma on the back of the chest with general anesthesia and having acute pulmonary edema after endotracheal extubation. Negative pressure pulmonary edema by laryngospasm was diagnosed with satisfactory outcome to the medical treatment and is discharged to 24hours after the event without sequelae. We expose a review of the pathophysiology of pulmonary edema, differential diagnosis and treatment that allow the anesthesiologist to guide a strategic plan for timely management.
