Negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) After Hanging: a case report

Negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a type of non-cardiac pulmonary edema (PE) that results from the production of high negative pressure in the chest (NIP) to overcome upper airway obstruction (UAO). The most commonly reported cause of NPPE in adults is laryngospasm during intubation or the postoperative period after anesthesia, and outpatient cases are rare. This was a case of a ۴۳-year-old man with NPPE after judicial Hanging. Bilateral rull s were present in the lung and SpO۲ was ۶۰%. The patient's chest showed bilateral diffuse infiltration. The patient underwent ACMV (mode ventilation). On the third day of admission, the patient was weaned from the ventilator and extubated. This confirms the importance of early detection of NPPE, which can lead to optimal outcome and complete recovery in these cases.
