Abstract
|
|
|
|
Upper airway obstruction is one of the serious complications that can occur after general anesthesia, and can also cause acute pulmonary edema if excessive negative pressure develops in the lungs. We report a case of postobstructive pulmonary edema after laryngospasm that occurred during the emergence from general anesthesia. When the laryngospasm occurs, positive pressure ventilation with 100% oxygen is the most important management. Intravenous administration of propofol or succinylcholine may help to treat laryngospasm. Most cases of postobstructive pulmonary edema are alleviated without sequelae within 24 hours, but acute lung injury or death is also reported and requires careful observation.
