Overview

Neurogenic pulmonary edema carries substantial early mortality despite frequent rapid recovery; leaves open predictors of fatal versus reversible courses.

Structured PICO

P
Population
23 patients with acute neurogenic pulmonary edema (2 new cases and 21 cases from 14 literature reports since 1990). Literature cases: mean age 31.6 years, 13 female.
I
Intervention
Supportive measures including oxygen support, tracheostomy, and vasoactive drugs
O
Outcome
Recovery time and mortality

Neurogenic pulmonary edema is a severe but rapidly reversible condition with high mortality but excellent recovery in survivors, often presenting within 4 hours of a neurologic event.
