Supports pressure-volume overload in neurogenic pulmonary edema; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before clinical adoption.
Case Report (n=1)
This case provides human evidence supporting the pressure and volume overload theory in the pathogenesis of neurogenic pulmonary edema.
M. Brooke Nicotra (1978) conducted a case report in Neurogenic pulmonary edema (n=1). Transient increases in systemic and pulmonary pressures was evaluated on Spontaneous resolution of pressure increases. Transient, large increases in systemic and pulmonary pressures spontaneously resolved within minutes in a patient with apparent pulmonary edema, supporting the pressure and volume overload theory.
