Overview

Pulmonary edema was first described as a result of heart failure by Andreas Nerlich. In 1891 the first case of high altitude pulmonary edema was reported. In 1908, W. T. Shanahan noted acute pulmonary edema as an adverse effect of epileptic seizures.

Historical Perspective

  • Pulmonary edema was first described as a result of heart failure by Andreas Nerlich, a pathologist from Munich, Germany.[1]
  • In 1891 the first case of high altitude pulmonary edema was reported.[2]
  • In 1913, TH Ravenhill suggested first diagnostic framework for high altitude pulmonary edema.[2]
  • In 1908, W. T. Shanahan noted acute pulmonary edema as an adverse effect of epileptic seizures.[3][4]
  • During WWI, francois Moutier noted the sudden onset of pulmonary edema among soldiers shot in the head.[3][4]
  • In the Vietnam War, alveolar edema and hemorrhage seen in the lungs of soldiers dying after isolated bullet head wounds.[5]


Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies

  • In 1953, intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) was described by Kantrowitz.[6]
  • In 1962, the modern intra-aortic counterpulsation device was described by Moulopoulos et al at the Cleveland Clinic.[7]
  • In 1969 intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) was first used clinically in a patient with cardiogenic shock.
  • Since the 1980s, IABP has been increasingly used in stabilizing patient with cardiogenic pulmonary edema before definitive therapy.
