Key result
Swimming-induced pulmonary oedema in triathletes is associated with risk factors including being highly trained, competitive exercise, hypertension, and cold environments.
Case Report (n=2)
Highlights key risk factors for swimming-induced pulmonary edema in endurance athletes, emphasizing the importance of awareness and accurate diagnosis to prevent life-threatening episodes.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Alerts clinicians to consider risk factors in triathletes without changing practice; leaves open need for prospective studies.
Swimming-induced pulmonary oedema/edema (SIPO/SIPE) is likely to become commoner with increasing popularity of endurance sports meaning an increased awareness by participants, organisers and medical personnel is important, especially as individuals are at increased risk of future life threatening episodes and drowning if an accurate diagnosis and appropriate advice are not given. The most important risk factors we identified are a highly trained individual, competitive exercise, hypertension and cold environment.
