Hanging, ligature strangulation, and manual methods can all result in fatal injuries such as fractures, dislocations, and brain swelling. This case involves a 30-year-old woman who survived a hanging incident but subsequently developed pulmonary and brain swelling. Post-obstructive pulmonary edema (POPE) is characterized by sudden onset non-neurogenic, non-cardiogenic fluid accumulation in the lungs following the removal of an acute upper respiratory tract obstruction. This report explores the patient's clinical presentation, disease progression, management strategies, and potential complications that clinicians may encounter during treatment, thereby enriching their understanding of possible outcomes and challenges in patient care.
绞刑、勒颈和手动方法都可能导致致命伤害,如骨折、脱臼和脑肿胀。本病例涉及一名30岁女性,她在一次绞刑事件中幸存下来,但随后出现了肺部和脑部肿胀。梗阻后肺水肿(POPE)的特征是在急性上呼吸道梗阻解除后,肺部突然出现非神经性、非心源性液体蓄积。本报告探讨了患者的临床表现、疾病进展、管理策略以及临床医生在治疗过程中可能遇到的潜在并发症,从而加深他们对患者护理中可能出现的结果和挑战的理解。
