Background

  • Also known as Swimming-Induced Pulmonary Edema (SIPE)[1]
  • Populations affected: Combat swimmers (e.g. Navy SEALs), triathletes, and submersion divers (aka "breath-hold diving")[2]
    • Prevalence approx 1.8% in combat swimmers
    • Very rare outside these groups
    • Similar to exertion-related pulmonary edema (best described in racehorses)
  • No good evidence-based risk factors identified, but hypertension appears to be associated[2]
    • There may also be some relation to overhydration.[3]
  • Immersion increases cardiac output and doubles pulmonary artery pressures compared to being out of water[2]
    • Blood is also redistributed from extremities to the thorax. This effect is greater in cold water.[4]

Clinical Features[4]

  • Dyspnea and/or hemoptysis immediately after water immersion
  • No history of water aspiration or laryngospasm
  • Hypoxia (SpO2 <92% or A-a gradient >30)
  • CXR opacities consistent with interstitial pulmonary edema or alveolar filling process

Differential Diagnosis

Water-related injuries

Diagnosis

  • Clinical diagnosis, based on history and physical examination

Management

  • Primarily supportive care, including supplemental oxygen[3][5]
    • Remove from water
    • Remove cold clothes and place into a warm environment
    • Albuterol may be used for symptomatic relief
  • Typically resolves completely within 24-48 hours

Disposition

  • Discharge if asymptomatic or minimal symptoms, normal SpO2
  • Otherwise, admit for observation
