Abstract

Acute fulminating pulmonary edema was developed in 20 year old female following an acute airway obstruction due to a burglary attack on neck with bare hands. The pathogenesis of pulmonary edema is related to the alveolar and capillary damage induced by the severe negative pressure generated by attempting to inspire against the closed upper airway. This female responded to fluid restriction and oxygen supply. To our knowledge, pulmonary edema caused by man has never been reported in the literature.

저자 등은 사람의 팔 힘만으로 목을 졸린 뒤 발생한 기도의 폐색이 급성 폐 부종과 호흡 부전을 초래한 증례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
