Acute onset of breathing problems caused by fluid accumulation in lung extravascular spaces induced by immersion, usually in cold water, often with intense physical exertion. Symptoms reported developed during physical activity and usually include dyspnoea/shortness of breath and a cough, often haemoptysis, occasionally chest tightness, chest ...
Open water swimming is a ... condition that causes fluid in the lungs. Medics writing in the journal BMJ Case Reports said swimmers should be told more about the risks of swimming-induced ...
One theory, Schmidt said, is something called activity-induced, swimming-induced, or immersion pulmonary edema. The condition refers to cases where athletes are found to have evidence of fluid in ...
Swimming induced pulmonary edema also known as immersion pulmonary edema [23] [24] [25] Transfusion associated Acute Lung Injury is a specific type of blood-product transfusion injury that occurs when the donors plasma contained antibodies against the recipient, such as anti-HLA or anti-neutrophil antibodies.
Swimming induced pulmonary edema occurs when fluids from the blood leak abnormally from the small vessels of the lung (pulmonary capillaries) into the airspaces (alveoli). [14] SIPE usually occurs during heavy exertion in conditions of water immersion, such as swimming and diving.
Indoor Swimming Pool. Respiratory risks of indoor swimming pools can include coughing, wheezing, aggravated asthma, [1] and airway hyper-responsiveness (spasms of the bronchial tubes in the lungs causing coughing and chest tightness).
The pathophysiology of acute respiratory distress syndrome involves fluid accumulation in the lungs not explained by heart failure (noncardiogenic pulmonary edema). It is typically provoked by an acute injury to the lungs that results in flooding of the lungs' microscopic air sacs responsible for the exchange of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide with capillaries in the lungs.

Plasma fluid losses due to immersion diuresis occur within a short period of immersion. [16] Head-out immersion causes a blood shift from the limbs and into the thorax. The fluid shift is largely from the extravascular tissues and the increased atrial volume results in a compensatory diuresis. Plasma volume, stroke volume, and cardiac output ...
