[Non-cardiac pulmonary edema in a patient with recent cardiac pulmonary edema].
Pulmonary oedema may be cardiac or non-cardiac in origin: these two forms are clinically indistinguishable and their treatments are completely different. A case of pulmonary oedema is reported. This was believed to be of cardiac origin but did not respond to conventional treatment with diuretics and positive fibrotropic drugs. Insertion of a Swan-Ganz catheter revealed low capillary wedge on pressure. This, in turn, indicates that pulmonary oedema is non-cardiac in origin. The administration of liquids and cortisones led to a rapid improvement in the patient's condition. It is concluded that, whenever conventional treatment of pulmonary oedema fails, the possibility of non-cardiac oedema should be considered. In order to check this, capillary wedge pressure is measured.

[Near-drowning in an adult: favorable course after a 20-minute submersion].
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was successful in a healthy 29-year-old woman who had been submerged for 20 minutes in water at 10 degrees C. The evolution was characterized by the development of a multifactorial ARDS (secondary drowning) and sepsis caused by Aeromonas hydrophila and Acinetobacter anitratum. Fibrosing alveolitis caused a restrictive syndrome with severe mechanical impairment and transitory therapy-resistant hypoxemia. It is suggested that prolonged submersion in cold water is also a treatable and completely reversible condition in adults. In our patient without neurological sequelae the pulmonary function studies after 3 months show complete recovery from the mechanical impairment. After a follow-up period of 11 months only mild abnormalities of gas exchange persist.
