ABSTRACT
Negative pressure pulmonary edema (also known as postobstructive pulmonary edema) is a medical emergency that usually arises from attempted ventilations against an acutely obstructed upper airway, such as occurs during laryngospasm. Often this occurs in the perioperative period when general anesthesia is used. It is most important to the clinician because it must be promptly recognized and appropriately managed. Since hypoxia is the chief problem associated with this complication, adequate oxygen saturation remains the primary goal of treatment. We report a case of a 42-year-old female patient who was submitted to laparoscopic tubal reversal under general anesthesia and developed negative pressure pulmonary edema after an acute airway obstruction.
