Abstract:
Type II postobstructive pulmonary edema developes after the relief of chronic airway obstruction. We describe one case of type II postobstructive pulmonary edema during adenotonsillectomy. Awareness of this rare complication is crucial for the anesthesiologist to make early diagnosis and treatment.
