2.  The Greek word Oedema means
swelling
 Edema is an abnormal accumulation
of fluid in the interstitial, located
beneath the skin and in the cavities
of the body.
 Hydrothorax or pleural effusion
 Pericardial effusion
 Synovial effusion
 Ascites
Definition
Normal Edema
Edema

3. 1) According to pathophysiological mechanism:
a) Transudate (low protein content)
b) Exudate (high protein content)
2) According to location:
a) Localized
b) Generalized
3) According to clinical finding:
a) Pitting
b) Non-pitting.
Types of Edema

4. Etiology of Edema
 Increased hydrostatic pressure.
 Reduce plasma oncotic pressure.
 Increased capillary permeability.
 Lymphatic obstruction.
 Sodium and water retention

5. Pathophysiology of Edema
Edema
Shift of salt and water into
interstitium
Colloid oncotic pressure
Plasma albumin
Proteinuria

6. Symptoms
 Swelling or puffiness of the tissue
directly under your skin, especially
in your legs or arms.
 Stretched or shiny skin.
 Skin that retains a dimple (pits),
after being pressed for several
seconds.
 Increased abdominal size.

7. Leg swelling(edema).
Abdominal swelling(ascites).
Pleural effusion.
Congestion & swelling of liver.
Acute heart attack
Cardiogenic shock.
Arrhythmias.
Electrolyte disturbances.
Mesenteric insufficiency.
Protein enteropathy.
Respiratory arrest and death.
Complications

8. Treatment of Edema
 Immediate first aid following injury can
minimize edema
 Use of ice, compression, electricity,
elevation and early gentle motion retards
accumulation of fluid and keeps
lymphatic system functioning at an
optimum level
 Any treatment that encourages lymph
flow will decrease plasma protein content
in intercellular spaces and decrease
edema

9. 1. Minimizing fluid buildup.
a)Movement
b)Elevation
c)Massage
d)Compression
e)Protection
f)Reduce salt intake
2. Managing Pain.
3. Adjusting Diet and Lifestyle.
4. When to Seek Medical Care.
Lifestyle and home remedies
