  2. Pulmonary edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_edema

    The term pulmonary edema literally means wet lungs. This term actually refers to a pathological condition of the lungs, frequently demonstrated by chest X-ray. Edema of the lungs should be thought of as the result of a disease such as congestive heart failure and not a disease in and of itself. In this case it would be a cardiac disease and not ...

  3. Salt water aspiration syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_water_aspiration_syndrome

    This gradient draws water out of surrounding lung tissues into the alveoli and bronchioles, leading to irritation and inflammation. Salt water can also cause oxidative stress, dilution of pulmonary surfactant, breakdown of the blood-air barrier, cellular degradation and cell death. [2]

  4. Swimming-induced pulmonary edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming-induced_pulmonary...

    SIPE is estimated to occur in 1-2% of competitive open-water swimmers, with 1.4% of triathletes, [2] 1.8% of combat swimmers and 1.1% of divers and swimmers [4] reported in the literature. Fatal cases can be mistaken for drowning because in both SIPE and drowning the lungs are heavy and filled with fluid, so post mortem findings may be similar.

  5. High-altitude pulmonary edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-altitude_pulmonary_edema

    Crackles or wheezing (while breathing) in at least one lung field; Central blue skin color; Tachypnea (rapid breathing) Tachycardia (rapid heart rate) Acute mountain sickness and high altitude cerebral edema may also be present in conjunction with HAPE, however these symptoms may be subtle or not present at all.

  6. Drowning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drowning

    Though laryngospasm prevents water from entering the lungs, it also interferes with breathing. In most people, the laryngospasm relaxes sometime after unconsciousness due to hypoxia in the larynx, and water can then enter the lungs, causing a "wet drowning". However, about 7–10% of people maintain this seal until cardiac arrest. [28] This has ...

    Patrick Woepse — husband of Olympian Maddie Musselman, a member of Team USA’s women’s water polo team — explains how he was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. Man, 30, has a rare cancer.

  8. Foreign body aspiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_body_aspiration

    If the foreign body does not cause a large degree of obstruction, patients may present with chronic cough, asymmetrical breath sounds on exam, or recurrent pneumonia of a specific lung lobe. [2] If the aspiration occurred weeks or even months ago, the object may lead to an obstructive pneumonia or even a lung abscess.

  9. Pulmonary aspiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_aspiration

    The lungs are normally protected against aspiration by a series of protective reflexes such as coughing and swallowing. Significant aspiration can only occur if the protective reflexes are absent or severely diminished (in neurological disease, coma, drug overdose, sedation or general anesthesia).
