High-altitude pulmonary edema with absent right pulmonary artery

Billy Rios, David J. Driscoll, Dan G. McNamaraTexas Children’s Hospital and Baylor Cllege of Medicine.United States PediatricsPediatrics 1985; 75: 314-317DOI: https://doi.org/10.1542/peds.75.2.314 AbstractHigh-altitude pulmonary edema potentially is fatal. Adults with unilateral absence of a right pulmonary artery are particularly susceptible to high-altitude pulmonary edema. The occurrence of high-altitude pulmonary edema was documented in a child with

Inflammatory processes may predispose children to high-altitude pulmonary edema

Anthony G. Durmowicz, Edward Nordeweir, Richard Nicholas, John T. ReevesUniversity of Colorado Health Sciences Center.United States Journal of PediatricsJ Pediatr 1997; 130: 838-480DOI: 10.1016/s0022-3476(97)80033-9 AbstractWe investigated retrospectively whether the preexistence of inflammation-producing illnesses such as viral respiratory tract infections contributed to the development of high-attitude pulmonary edema in children. We found that the large majority of

Pulmonary edema in 6 children with Down syndrome during travel to moderate altitudes

Anthony G. DurmowiczUniversity of Utah Health Science Center and Primary Children’s Medical Center.United States PediatricsPediatrics 2001; 108: 443-447DOI: 10.1542/peds.108.2.443 AbstractObjective: Children with Down syndrome (DS) are living longer and are increasingly participating in recreational activities. When a child with DS was diagnosed with high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), this study was undertaken to determine whether and under what

Effects of altitude and exercise on pulmonary capillary integrity: evidence for subclinical high-altitude pulmonary edema

Marlowe W. Eldridge, Ruedi K. Braun, Ken Y. Yoneda, William F. WalbyUniversity of Wisconsin.United States Journal of Applied PhysiologyJ Appl Physiol 2006; 100: 972-980 DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.01048.2005 AbstractStrenuous exercise may be a significant contributing factor for development of high-altitude pulmonary edema, particularly at low or moderate altitudes. Thus we investigated the effects of heavy cycle ergometer exercise (90%
