Abstract
We have reported a case of severe upper airway obstruction accompanied by marked inspiratory effort which produced highly negative intrathoracic pressure, leading to a reduction in pulmonary interstitial hydrostatic pressure and impairment of left ventricular performance. Acute pulmonary edema resulted. Severe acidosis was also present and may have contributed to left ventricular dysfunction.Keywords
