Abstract

Negative pressure pulmonary oedema (NPPO) is an anaesthetic complication due to acute obstruction of the upper airway, whose main cause is laryngospasm. The pathophysiology involves a strong negative intrapleural pressure during inspiration against a closed glottis, which triggers excessive pressure in the pulmonary microvasculature. Although its diagnosis can be difficult, its recognition helps to minimise morbidity and mortality. This article presents a case of NPPO due to postextubation laryngospasm.

El diagnóstico puede ser difícil, su reconocimiento ayuda a minimizar la morbimortalidad. En este artículo se presenta un caso de NPPE por laringoespasmo postextubación.
