Unilateral reexpansion pulmonary edema after closed drainage of bilateral pneumothorax: A case report
-
Abstract: Reexpansion pulmonary edema is a rare but potentially fatal disease. A case of a middle-aged male patient was reported. After bilateral closed thoracic drainage of massive bilateral pneumothorax, the dyspnea and hypoxia suddenly worsened. CT showed diffuse and exudative changes in the left lung. The patient was diagnosed with reexpansion pulmonary edema, and he quickly alleviated after high-flow nasal catheter oxygen therapy and the use of glucocorticoids and diuretic. The reexpansion pulmonary edema is a self-limited disease and the management strategies based on symptomatic supportive treatment are safe and effective.
