Laryngospasm-induced pulmonary edema

F N Jackson et al. Chest. 1980 Dec.

Abstract

Laryngospasm developed in a 33-year-old woman following attempted endotracheal intubation. Following establishment of the airway, the patient developed pulmonary edema which was successfully treated by conventional means. The sequence of events suggests that laryngospasm precipitated the development of the pulmonary edema in this patient.
