  • Title: Reexpansion pulmonary edema after VATS successfully treated with continuous positive airway pressure.
    Author: Iqbal M, Multz AS, Rossoff LJ, Lackner RP.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2000 Aug; 70(2):669-71. PubMed ID: 10969704.
    Abstract:
    Reexpansion pulmonary edema is a well-described complication of treatment for pleural effusion and pneumothorax. It is very rarely described in association with anesthesia and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The etiology is unclear but several mechanisms have been proposed. We report a case of reexpansion pulmonary edema after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery treated successfully with continuous positive airway pressure.
