Neurogenic Pulmonary Edema Developing After Cesarean Section

Öz

Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is a pathogenesis of pulmonary edema which occurs often in the early period following the acute neurologic changes affecting the central nervous system and proceeds with respiratory failure. It causes respiratory problems requiring intubation in the patient. When evaluated in general terms, the pathophysiology of NPE includes cardiopulmonary dysfunction caused by catecholamines that are secreted rapidly and abundantly. This case study will examine the respiratory failure of a 35-year-old pregnant (for 37 weeks), which developed after an emergency cesarean section, and her later being diagnosed with Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM).
