In summary, we have presented two cases to illustrate the problem of postoperative pulmonary edema following tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. Furthermore, we have discussed the difficulty in predicting those patients who will develop this complication. Because of the potential seriousness and unpredictability of acute pulmonary edema following tonsillectomy for chronic obstruction, it is important that medical personnel, including pediatricians caring for patients after tonsillectomy, be able to readily recognize this phenomenon of acute onset of congestive heart failure and treat it rapidly with diuretics, continuous positive airway pressure, and respiratory support as needed.
总之，我们呈现了两个病例来说明扁桃体切除术和腺样体切除术后的肺水肿问题。此外，我们还讨论了预测哪些患者会发生这种并发症的困难。由于慢性阻塞性扁桃体切除术后急性肺水肿具有潜在的严重性和不可预测性，包括负责扁桃体切除术后患者护理的儿科医生在内的医务人员必须能够迅速识别这种充血性心力衰竭的急性发作现象，并根据需要用利尿剂、持续气道正压通气和呼吸支持进行快速治疗。
