AB  - Postobstructive  pulmonary  edema,  also  known  as  negative-pressure  pulmonary  edema  (NPPE),  is  a  serious,  potentially  fatal  condition  which  commonly  results  from  upper  airway  obstruction.  More  specifically,  forced  inspiration  against  an  obstructed  upper  airway  generates  a  large  intrathoracic  pressure  gradient,  an  increased  pulmonary  vascular  volume,  and  subsequently  a  significant  increase  in  the  pulmonary  capillary  transmural  pressure,  which  produces  a  significant  disruption  of  the  capillary  alveolar  membrane.  The  movement  of  fluid  across  the  pulmonary  capillary  bed  can  be  further  summarized  by  the  Starling  equation:  Q  =  K  ×  [(Pc–  Pi)  –  σ  (πc–  πi)]  (Q,  flow  across  the  pulmonary  capillary  bed;  Pc,  capillary  hydrostatic  pressure;  Pi,  interstitial  hydrostatic  pressure;  πc,  capillary  oncotic  pressure,  and  πi,  interstitial  oncotic  pressure).
