Pentobarbital given in lethal-injection doses causes flash pulmonary edema in a substantial share of executed inmates.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Pentobarbital given in lethal-injection doses causes flash pulmonary edema in a substantial share of executed inmates?

Unclear. Two sources report autopsy findings of pulmonary edema after lethal injection, including one series finding fulminant edema in 10 of 15 pentobarbital executions, but the evidence covers only part of the claim and does not establish the rate across executed inmates generally.
