OBJECTIVE
To estimate the role of right heart function in the development of edema in COPD induced cor pulmonale.
METHODS
44 cases in exacerbation stage with hypoxia and hypercapnia were studied. Pulmonary hemodynamic parameters were measured by Swan-Ganz catheter and compared with the presence and
BACKGROUND
The occurrence of deteriorating renal function test results along with the attempts at diuresis of anasarca has been described but not named, and no solution other than the standard treatment of related medical conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF) and reducing or stopping
Ultraendurance athletic events tax the limits of physiological homeostasis. Maintenance of sodium and water balance is a particularly difficult challenge in such events. We present the case of a 38-yr-old participant in the Bicycle Race Across America who developed severe pulmonary edema while
Four children, aged 1 to 3 1/2, were first seen with cor pulmonale, pulmonary edema and severe respiratory distress due to chronic upper airway obstruction secondary to adenoidal or tonsillar hypertrophy or both. Arterial blood gas values, electrocardiograms and chest x-ray films were compatible
OBJECTIVE
The phenomenon of postobstructive pulmonary edema (POPE) has been associated with the relief of upper airway obstruction, which itself is fundamental to the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A review of patients with OSA undergoing tracheotomy was performed to characterize
