Journal Title: People's Journal of Scientific Research. - Year 2015, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Post obstructive pulmonary edema (POPE), a rare form of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, is a lesser known medical emergency which occurs due to acute upper airway obstruction (Type I) or following surgical relief of chronic airway obstruction (Type II). Though cases of POPE have been reported after various causes of upper airway obstruction but POPE developing after strangulation have not been reported widely. We report a 14 years old boy who developed POPE following accidental strangulation and complete recovery following ventilator support and supportive care.
