Cardiogenic pulmonary edema is caused by increased hydrostatic pressure in the pulmonary veins due to cardiac dysfunction from various etiologies like mitral stenosis, congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and myocardial infarction. Patients typically present with sudden shortness of breath, anxiety, coughing up pink frothy sputum, and other symptoms. Diagnosis involves blood tests, electrocardiogram, chest x-ray, and other exams. Treatment focuses on ventilatory support, reducing preload and afterload on the heart, and providing inotropic support. Prognosis varies greatly case by case.
Clinical Presentation on Management of Acute Pulmonary Edema for the Department of Internal Medicine, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile Ife.
Pulmonary Oedema is accumulation of fluid in lungs. It can be due to cardiogenic or non-cardiogenic causes. This presentation was a class presentation and discussed its management alongwith diagnosis.
Drug-induced pulmonary/ respiratory disease is any disorder occurring to the respiratory organs due to the use of medication or drugs.
Pulmonary edema is a condition by which there occurs fluid accumulation in the lungs causing the patient difficult to breathe
Excessive fluid administration in compensated and decompensated heart failure patient considered as common cause
As a result capillary hydrostatic pressure increases due to left ventricular failure.
Oncotic pressure ( pressure with which fluid moves into vessel), also plays a role.
When there is an imbalance between hydrostatic and oncotic pressure fluid accumulates in the sac
