Neurogenic pulmonary edema following severe head injury: A transpulmonary thermodilution study
We report a fatal case of a 55-year old man who was admitted because of severe head injury. The diagnosis of NPE was considered according to clinical and radiological findings. Transpulmonary thermodilution (TPT) study showed decreased stroke volume index (SVI) and cardiac function index (CFI). Indexed extravascular lung water (EVLWI) was increased as well as pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI).
