Abstract

Pulmonary edema negative pressure (NPPE) also described in the literature as acute pulmonary edema or post-obstructing after extubation, corresponds to an unusual event, with an incidence of approximately 0.1% in anesthetized patients. ¹

The authors describe the case of NPPE occurred after tracheal extubation in a patient undergoing laparoscopic orchidectomy under general anesthesia. They report the pathophysiology, radiological and bronchoscopic pattern and therapeutic measures instituted.
