Title: Pulmonary Edema Associated With Propoxyphene Intoxication
Abstract: In three consecutive cases of severe, rapid intoxication with propoxyphene hydrochloride (Darvon), pulmonary edema was present and represented the major problem in clinical management or the significant pathological finding at postmortem examination. This suggests that pulmonary edema plays an important role in the natural history of such intoxications. It is necessary that physicians be aware of this complication, for intensive pulmonary resuscitation may salvage patients with otherwise lethal ingestions.
