Reexpansion pulmonary edema is a rare complication after pleural fluid or air removal. Prompt oxygenation and circulation management are key for treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Reexpansion pulmonary edema (RPE) is an infrequent complication following pleural space evacuation.
  • It can manifest with varying clinical severity, from latent to severe presentations.

Observation:

  • Two cases of RPE are presented, highlighting the diverse clinical expressions.
  • The underlying pathophysiology of RPE is not fully understood but involves increased pulmonary capillary permeability.

Findings:

  • Atelectatic lung parenchyma and rapid reexpansion are implicated as primary contributors to RPE.
  • Effective management relies on preventive strategies and supportive care including oxygenation and circulation support.

Implications:

  • Understanding RPE pathophysiology is crucial for developing targeted preventive measures.
