  • Title: Methadone-induced pulmonary edema.
    Author: Presant S, Knight L, Klassen G.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1975 Nov 22; 113(10):966-7. PubMed ID: 1192314.
    Abstract:
    A patient with methadone-induced pulmonary edema had increased extravascular water in the lungs and a reduced total vascular albumin space. Diuresis resulted in hypotension. These observations suggest that the appropriate treatment of this condition should be ventilatory support and restoration of plasma oncotic pressure with albumin. Diuretic therapy should be used with caution.
