Postobstructive Pulmonary Edema associated with biting a laryngeal mask airway.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;14(9):564-5.

Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has established itself as a reliable mode of maintaining a patent airway; however, it is associated with a few complications. This case report describes the presentation, diagnosis, management and treatment of an unusual complication associated with the use of LMA, that is postobstructive pulmonary edema (POPE), which is a potentially life-threatening complication of acute airway obstruction. It develops rapidly but responds quickly to the therapy.
