Ventilation was required for four days after the operation, after which the pulmonary edema had resolved.
Three with totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection had respiratory failure secondary to pulmonary edema and underwent successful correction following 1-4 days ofsupport.
Despite a blood transfusion and treatment with cephotaxime and vancomycin administered intravenously, she remained pyrexial with chest signs (pleural rubs) and evidence of peripheral edema.
In these circumstances, both cardiac and pulmonary function may be improved by reducing pulmonary edema and the preload on the heart.
Some cases have the 5 principal symptoms, but no red palms or indurative edema in the initial stage.
Limiting edema in neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass with narrow-range molecular weight hydroxyethyl starch.
A chest radiograph showed marked cardiac dilation with the incipient signs of pulmonary edema.
Priming with "reconstructed" blood allows continuous perfusion, since the longer duration of bypass is not associated with formation of interstitial edema.
