Overview
Historical Perspective
- Andreas Nerlich, a pathologist from Munich, Germany, examined the histology of the lungs and described the presence of pulmonary oedema, likely due to ‘heart failure’, as histochemical staining of lung tissue ruled out other diseases as cause of ‘fluid in the air spaces of the lung’, including tuberculosis, granulomas, or microbacterial infections
- In 1891 the first case of high altitude pulmonary edema was reported.[1]
- In 1913, TH Ravenhill suggested first diagnostic framework for high altitude pulmonary edema.[1]
- In 1908, W. T. Shanahan noted acute pulmonary edema as an adverse effect of epileptic seizures.[2][3]
- During WWI, francois Moutier noted the sudden onset of pulmonary edema among soldiers shot in the head.[2][3]
- In the Vietnam War, alveolar edema and hemorrhage seen in the lungs of soldiers dying after isolated bullet head wounds.[4]
