Supports supportive NPE management after CNS injury; leaves open prospective trials on alpha-blockade protocols.
Neurogenic pulmonary edema is a potential complication of CNS insults, likely caused by massive sympathetic discharge, and is managed supportively with mechanical ventilation and alpha-adrenergic blocking agents.
Ann Pyeron (2001) conducted a review in Neurogenic pulmonary edema. Neurogenic pulmonary edema is a potential complication of central nervous system insults, and its management is primarily supportive with mechanical ventilation and alpha-adrenergic blocking agents.
