  • Title: [Reduction and anti-inflammatory technics in non-hemodynamic pulmonary edemas].
    Author: Feiss P, Gay R.
    Journal: Ann Anesthesiol Fr; 1975; 16 Spec No 2-3():191-5. PubMed ID: 9865.
    Abstract:
    All hypervolemia or any decrease in plasma oncotic pressure leads to deterioration in lesional pulmonary edema. The aim of albumin infusions is to restore the plasma oncotic pressure and to oppose the passage of water into the extravascular space. This therapy is however debatable owing to the abnormal increase in the permeability of the alveolo-capillary membrane to proteins. Diuretics enable one to lower the volemia and to maintain the pulmonary capillary pressure at its minimum level. However, strict hemodynamic supervision is absolutely necessary. Cortico-steroids have been recommended without serious physiopathological justification. However, they have a preventive action on interstitial edema in endotoxic shock.
