Joven con herida en cuello IAM y edema pulmonar – 2011
Colombia
Case presentation
I would like to tell you about this interesting case of young, 20-year-old man, with negative history, who was admitted in our hospital after a wound with a bladed weapon in his neck, hypovolemic shock.
He is taken from the ER to the OR, and a cervicotomy is conducted, finding a wound in the larynx, without vascular involvement nor digestive system involvement, so a laryngograph and a tracheotomy were done. Approximately 12 hours after the surgery, he presented an episode of oppressive retrosternal thoracic pain, irradiated to the left superior limb and associated to diaphoresis.
