Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular and Respiratory System Sciences
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Pulmonary edema is a rare but severe complication following major lung resection, particularly pneumonectomy.
  • The exact mechanisms are unclear but involve increased filtration and microcirculation hyperpermeability.
  • Excessive perioperative fluid administration is a suspected contributing factor.
