Negative Pressure Pulmonary Edema
• First described in 1977 by Oswalt, C. et. al. • Negative pressure pulmonary edema is an
uncommon complication of extubation of the trachea most commonly caused by laryngospasm.
• The only large retrospective study, investigating negative pressure pulmonary edema found its incidence to be almost one per thousand patients (0.094%).
• This suggests that it may be underreported due to failure of recognizing it or misdiagnosing it for another condition.

Negative Pressure Pulmonary Edema
• Inspiratory efforts against a closed glottis (modified Mueller maneuver) may result in pleural pressures (> - 100 cm H2O)
• Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction
• These changes result in:• Increased transmural pressure• Fluid filtration into the lung • Development of pulmonary edema and capillary failure.

Laryngospasm• Defined as an occlusion of
the glottis secondary to contraction of laryngeal constrictors.
• Defensive system of the upper airway and lungs mediated by the vagus nerve.
• Its closure may cause an increase in intrathoracic pressure.
![Page 14: Laryngeal Spasm and Negative Pressure Pulmonary Edema](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5681489a550346895db5aedc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Mechanism of Edema Formation
• Two theories on the edema fluid formation
• One of the theory suggests significant fluid shifts due to changes in intrathoracic pressure and hydrostatic transpulmonary gradient due to increased blood flowin pulmonary vessel
• The second proposed mechanism involves the disruption of the alveolar epithelial and pulmonary microvascular membranes from severe mechanical stress which leads to increased pulmonary capillary permeability and protein-rich pulmonary edema.

Signs and Symptoms
• Tachycardia• Rales• Hypoxemia on pulse oximetry or ABG• Frothy pink pulmonary secretions• Bilateral, centralized alveolar infiltrates on
chest x-ray

Treatment
• Early diagnosis• Reestablishment of the airway• Adequate oxygenation• Application of positive airway pressure
• Via face mask or LMA• Endotracheal intubation with vent support
• Although NPPE does not result from fluid overload, most authors recommend gentle diuresis using low-dose furosemide.

Preventive Measures
• Laryngospasm secondary to laryngeal irritation is the most common event preceding NPPE.

Preventive Measures
• Literature review of all cases of NPPE between 1970 and 2006
• A total of 146 cases of adult NPPE were compiled • No patients had been treated with laryngotracheal topical
anesthesia (LTA) prior to intubation and 5 were treated with IV Lidocaine immediately before extubation.
• Specific conclusions about anesthetic techniques could not be drawn because the case reports lacked consistent data.
• The incidence of laryngospasm might have been reduced by the use of LTA or IV Lidocaine.
• Provided that there is no contraindication, the authors recommend the use of LTA prior to intubation.

Prognosis• Some cases require minimal supportive care with
supplemental oxygen• Most patients require reintubation and
ventilation with positive airway pressure • NPPE is usually self-limited, with radiologic
clearing and normalization of arterial blood gas parameters within 48 hours
• It is theorized that the natural course of NPPE is self –limited because the alveolar epithelium remains functionally intact.
