Negative pressure pulmonary edema due to upper airway obstruction after general anesthesia in a patient with Parkinson's disease: A case report
Abstract
Key Clinical Message In a patient with Parkinson's disease (PD) who underwent spine surgery 13 h after the last anti‐Parkinson medications, negative pressure pulmonary edema from upper airway obstruction developed immediately after extubation. Although oxygenation improved with high‐flow nasal cannula therapy, such complications might develop due to abrupt discontinuation of medication for PD.
