[Acute pulmonary edema of hemodynamic origin in carbon monoxide poisoning].

TL;DRAbstract

Acute pulmonary edema is a frequent complication of carbon monoxide poisoning. The hemodynamic study of a case with major hypoxemia revealed the cardiac origin of the acute respiratory failure. Treatment associated diuretics, cardiotonic drugs and a positive end expiratory pressure. This treatment did not however prevent the occurrence of a transient anterolateral injury on EKG. The pathophysiology of pulmonary edema in carbon monoxide poisoning is discussed and evidence in favor of it's hemodynamic origin are exposed.
