[Pulmonary edema caused by laryngospasm]
Abstract
The authors report on a case of non-cardiac pulmonary oedema that developed in a young athletic man at an operating theatre. This unusual condition resulted from a laryngospasm followed by strenuous ventilation retractions. Diagnostic routine, differential diagnosis and treatment are described.
