Key result
Swimming-induced pulmonary edema requires supportive treatment in 1 female triathlete during a Half Ironman.
Why the study?
Swimming-induced pulmonary edema is a poorly understood, noncardiogenic form of acute pulmonary edema infrequently described in the general military literature.
Case Report (n=1)
Swimming-induced pulmonary edema is a noncardiogenic form of acute pulmonary edema that should be considered in patients presenting with acute pulmonary edema following water sports.
Consider SIPE in post-swimming pulmonary edema; single case leaves open incidence and risk stratification.
Swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) is a noncardiogenic form of acute pulmonary edema infrequently described in the general military literature. Its pathophysiology is poorly understood. Treatment is supportive. Knowledge of SIPE is important for the military physician and should remain a top differential for any patient presenting with acute pulmonary edema following a water sport. This is the case of a patient with SIPE occurring during the swim portion of a Half Ironman Triathlon.

Haran et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) (n=1). Supportive treatment was evaluated. Swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) presented as acute pulmonary edema in 1 active-duty female triathlete during a Half Ironman Triathlon, requiring supportive treatment.
