Abstract
- We present the case of a 4-yr-old child who experienced pulmonary edema during adenotonsillectomy. The pulmonary edema occurred unexpectedly around 50 minutes into the operation. We suggest that postobstructive pulmonary edema can occur soon or sometime after the resolution of a chronic airway obstruction.
