Why the study?

Neurogenic pulmonary edema secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage is complex and clinically non-specific, leaving it unfamiliar to non-neurological clinicians and complicating management.

Implication

Maintain high suspicion for neurogenic pulmonary edema after CNS injury; literature review leaves open need for validated diagnostics.

Key Points

This review aims to present recent evidence on the clinical concepts relevant to the identification and management of neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
Review of literature on neurogenic pulmonary edema related to subarachnoid hemorrhage and its clinical presentations.
Discussion of clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and therapeutic interventions for NPE in SAH patients.
NPE can occur more frequently in patients with SAH despite being historically viewed as rare.
Two forms of NPE were identified: early (within minutes/hours) and late (12-24 hours after injury), with symptoms resolving in 50% of cases within 24-48 hours.
Management focuses on treating the underlying neurological injury and controlling sympathetic hyperactivity.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) or other central nervous system (CNS) injuries at risk for neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE)

Neurogenic pulmonary edema should be suspected in any case of central nervous system lesion with pulmonary involvement, as it is a life-threatening complication requiring prompt recognition and supportive management.
