Background: Swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) has been reported to subside within 24 to 48 h, but comprehensive follow-up studies on symptom duration and long-term effects are missing.

Research Question: What are the symptom duration, recurrence, and long-term effects of SIPE?

Study Design And Methods: A follow-up study was conducted, based on 165 cases of SIPE from Sweden's largest open-water swimming event with 26,125 individuals participating during 2017-2019. Data on patient characteristics, clinical findings, and symptoms were collected at admission.

Background: Swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) occasionally occurs during swimming in cold open water. Although optimal treatment for SIPE is unknown, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) is an option for prehospital treatment.

Research Question: Is NPPV a feasible and safe prehospital treatment for SIPE, and which outcome measures reflect recovery after treatment?

Study Design And Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at Vansbrosimningen, Sweden's largest open water swimming event, from 2017 through 2019.

Background: Despite the increasing popularity of open water swimming worldwide, swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) is a poorly recognized condition lacking established diagnostic criteria.

Research Question: The aim of this study was to identify diagnostic criteria of SIPE during a large open water swimming event.

Study Design And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 17,904 individuals swam 1,000, 1,500, or 3,000 m in cold open water during Sweden's largest open water swimming event in 2018 and 2019.
