Re-expansion pulmonary edema (REPE) is an uncommon complication following re-expansion of the lung as treatment of conditions such as hemopneumothorax, large pleural effusion, and after lobectomy, pneumothorax, or even during single-lung ventilation. The majority of REPE complications are associated with treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax. The etiology of REPE remains speculative, although it is thought to be caused by increased pulmonary capillary permeability. Risk factors, including young age, a large pneumothorax, and long duration of collapse, may help predict the patients that might encounter this complication.
复张性肺水肿（REPE）是肺复张后出现的一种罕见并发症，常见于血气胸、大量胸腔积液等病症的治疗后，以及肺叶切除、气胸术后，甚至在单肺通气期间。大多数复张性肺水肿并发症与自发性气胸的治疗有关。尽管认为复张性肺水肿是由肺毛细血管通透性增加引起的，但其病因仍具有推测性。危险因素，包括年轻、气胸量大和肺萎陷时间长，可能有助于预测可能发生这种并发症的患者。
