Negative pressure Pulmonary Hemorrhage
Respiratory Medicine CME, 2009Co-Authors: Khalil Diab, Aliya NoorAbstract:Abstract Negative pressure Pulmonary edema is a well-described complication of acute upper airway obstruction. It occurs as a result of a markedly negative intrathoracic pressure generated by forced inspiration against a closed glottis, leading to extravasation of fluid into the alveolar spaces. Capillary blood-gas barrier stress failure may ensue resulting in alveolar Hemorrhage. We report a case of negative pressure Pulmonary Hemorrhage secondary to partial strangulation. The patient's symptoms rapidly abated within 48 h with supportive therapy.

Negative Pressure Pulmonary Hemorrhage
Chest, 1999Co-Authors: David R. Schwartz, Anjli Maroo, Atul Malhotra, Howard KesselmanAbstract:Negative pressure Pulmonary edema, a well-recognized phenomenon, is the formation of Pulmonary edema following an acute upper airway obstruction (UAO). To our knowledge, diffuse alveolar Hemorrhage has not been reported previously as a complication of an UAO. We describe a case of negative pressure Pulmonary Hemorrhage, and we propose that its etiology is stress failure, the mechanical disruption of the alveolar-capillary membrane.

Pulmonary Hemorrhage hemoptysis in children
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2004Co-Authors: Simon GodfreyAbstract:Pulmonary Hemorrhage and hemoptysis are uncommon in childhood, and the frequency with which they are encountered by the pediatric pulmonologist depends largely on the special interests of the center to which the child is referred. In those centers caring for children with cystic fibrosis or congenital heart disease, these will be by far the most common causes of hemoptysis. Other causes of hemoptysis are far less common, such as bleeding from localized lesions in the upper airway or tracheobronchial tree. Even less common is bleeding into the lungs as part of a systemic disease, usually with renal involvement (Pulmonary-renal syndromes), such as systemic lupus erythematosis or Goodpasture's syndrome. Bleeding into the lungs in children with a bleeding diathesis probably only occurs in immunosuppressed children after transplantation. When no other cause is found for Pulmonary Hemorrhage, the presumed diagnosis is idiopathic Pulmonary hemosiderosis. This review discusses the various causes of hemoptysis and Pulmonary Hemorrhage, and the appropriate investigations to aid in determining the correct diagnosis. The management and prognosis of idiopathic Pulmonary hemosiderosis, based on cumulative experience from published reports, are considered in more detail.
