Abstract:
Pulmonary edema is a recognized comphcation of acute airway obstruction. When pulmonary edema occurs, it usually follows relief of obstruction and is likely to be of noncardiogenic origin. We present a case of noncanhogenic pulmonary edema that occured in a ncy woman who was transfered to our hospital, because of endotracheal intubation failure and unrelieved bronchospasm, during general anesthesia for Cesarian section.
