NPPE - eine seltene anästhesierelevante Komplikation

Zusammenfassung.

Wir berichten über eine seltene anästhesierelevante Komplikation: das NPPE (negative pressure pulmonary edema). Ein 20-jähriger gesunder Mann entwickelte ein Lungenödem in der frühen postoperativen Phase nach einer ansonsten unkomplizierten Intubationsnarkose zur Metallentfernung aus der rechten Clavicula. Auslöser des Lungenödems war die akute Obstruktion der oberen Atemwege durch einen Narkoseüberhang.

NPPE - A Rare Anaesthetic Complication.

NPPE - a rare anaesthetic complication. We report a rare anaesthetic complication: NPPE (negative pressure pulmonary edema). A 20-year-old otherwise healthy man developed pulmonary edema in the early postoperative phase after uneventful general anaesthesia. The release of the edema was acute obstruction of the upper airways due to postoperative drowsiness.
