  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/24218-pulmonary-edema

  Pulmonary edema is a buildup of fluid in your lungs. Symptoms include shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. Sudden (acute) pulmonary edema requires immediate treatment. Pulmonary edema can also develop over time (chronic). […] Fluid buildup in your lungs can lead to shortness of breath, coughing up of foam and loose mucus, wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing. Pulmonary edema can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical treatment. […] Pulmonary edema can come on suddenly (acute) or develop as a long-term (chronic) condition. […] Signs and symptoms of sudden pulmonary edema include: Shortness of breath (dyspnea), especially during movement or lying down. Coughing up blood or frothy mucus. Wheezing. Gasping for air. Feeling like you’re suffocating. Chest tightness or pain.

  Pulmonary edema can be defined as an abnormal accumulation of extravascular fluid in the lung parenchyma. This process leads to diminished gas exchange at the alveolar level, progressing to potentially causing respiratory failure. Its etiology is either due to a cardiogenic process with the inability to remove sufficient blood away from the pulmonary circulation or non-cardiogenic precipitated by injury to the lung parenchyma. Clinical features include progressive worsening dyspnea, rales on lung auscultation, and worsening hypoxia.[1] […] Progressively worsening dyspnea, tachypnea, and rales (or crackles) on examination with associated hypoxia are the clinical features common to both cardiogenic and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. […] In patients with non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, the symptoms of infections such as fever, cough with expectoration, dyspnea pointing to likely pneumonia, recent trauma, blood transfusions should be carefully assessed as these patients may progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome.

• #1 Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema: Background, Etiology, Prognosis

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/157452-overview

  In stage 1, elevated LA pressure causes distention and opening of small pulmonary vessels. At this stage, blood gas exchange does not deteriorate, or it may even be slightly improved. […] In stage 2, fluid and colloid shift into the lung interstitium from the pulmonary capillaries, but an initial increase in lymphatic outflow efficiently removes the fluid. […] In stage 3, as fluid filtration continues to increase and the filling of loose interstitial space occurs, fluid accumulates in the relatively noncompliant interstitial space. […] With further accumulations, the fluid crosses the alveolar epithelium into the alveoli, leading to alveolar flooding. At this stage, abnormalities in gas exchange are noticeable, vital capacity and other respiratory volumes are substantially reduced, and hypoxemia becomes more severe.

  Pulmonary edema is the accumulation of fluid in the lung interstitium and alveoli. Clinical features include progressive dyspnea, signs of hypoxemia (e.g., cyanosis, tachycardia), and features of the underlying cause, such as S3 gallop on cardiac auscultation in cardiogenic pulmonary edema. […] General symptoms include progressive dyspnea and/or tachypnea, cough, possibly with pink frothy sputum or expectoration, and fever (e.g., secondary to pneumonia or sepsis). […] Signs of hypoxia include cyanosis and tachycardia.

  Another notable physical finding is skin pallor or mottling resulting from peripheral vasoconstriction, low cardiac output, and shunting of blood to the central circulation in patients with poor LV function and substantially increased sympathetic tone. Skin mottling at presentation is an independent predictor of an increased risk of in-hospital mortality. […] Severe CPE may be associated with a change in mental status, which can be caused by hypoxia or hypercapnia. Although CPE is usually associated with hypocapnia, hypercapnia with respiratory acidosis may be seen in patients with severe CPE or underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

• #1 What Is Pulmonary Edema? Symptoms, Risk Factors & Treatment

  https://www.emedicinehealth.com/pulmonary_edema/article_em.htm

  The lack of oxygen in the body can cause significant distress, leading to a respiratory crisis, gasping for air, and feeling unable to breathe. In effect, if there is enough fluid in the lungs, it can feel like drowning. […] Patients with high-altitude pulmonary edema may also develop high-altitude cerebral edema (inflammation and swelling of the brain). This may be associated with headaches, vomiting, and poor decision-making. […] Pulmonary edema can be a life-threatening situation. For persons in respiratory distress, emergency care should be sought immediately. […] Cardiogenic pulmonary edema is a chronic condition to be controlled and not necessarily cured. Controlling heart disease risk factors (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and smoking) decreasing salt intake, and taking prescribed medications will help minimize symptoms and future episodes of pulmonary edema.

• #1 Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema: Background, Etiology, Prognosis

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/157452-overview

  Cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) is defined as pulmonary edema due to increased capillary hydrostatic pressure secondary to elevated pulmonary venous pressure. CPE reflects the accumulation of fluid with a low-protein content in the lung interstitium and alveoli as a result of cardiac dysfunction. […] CPE leads to progressive deterioration of alveolar gas exchange and respiratory failure. Without prompt recognition and treatment, a patient’s condition can deteriorate rapidly. […] The major complications associated with CPE are respiratory fatigue and failure. Prompt diagnosis and treatment usually prevent these complications, but the physician must be prepared to provide assisted ventilation if the patient begins to show signs of respiratory fatigue. […] The progression of fluid accumulation in CPE can be identified as three distinct physiologic stages.

  Cases of delayed onset are rare, but pulmonary edema has been reported to occur 1-6 h after upper airway obstruction. Since the severity of clinical manifestations is variable, some mild cases may not be recognized. The severity of the condition is related to the duration of the obstruction and the degree of pulmonary capillary damage. […] Once the airway is protected, the negative airway pressure is relieved by positive-pressure mechanical ventilation. Imaging analysis of alveolar or interstitial edema has indicated that NPPE usually resolves within 12-24 h. […] Some patients with NPPE may suffer from associated long-term complications, such as myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, hypoxic brain injury and pulmonary hemorrhage. A small number of patients may die from causes such as septic shock and cardiac arrest.

  Pulmonary edema is an emergency situation, because people with the condition are not receiving the oxygen they need. […] Pulmonary edema tends to affect older adults, particularly those with heart failure: Up to 80% of people with heart failure also have pulmonary edema. […] Pulmonary edema can be a life-threatening condition. Immediate medical attention is essential. Extra oxygen can be given to help patients breathe more effectively, while other treatments to remove fluid from the lungs and manage the heart-related pressure problems that caused the fluid buildup can also make a difference. […] Fortunately, pulmonary edema is a reversible condition, and the faster it is treated, the better the outcome is likely to be. […] People who seek treatment may recover, but about 20% of people who are treated for pulmonary edema die, often due to complications. Among those who do recover, the lungs usually function normally again after 6 months or a year, if not sooner.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK557611/

  Pulmonary edema can be defined as an abnormal accumulation of extravascular fluid in the lung parenchyma. This process leads to diminished gas exchange at the alveolar level, progressing to potentially causing respiratory failure. Its etiology is either due to a cardiogenic process with the inability to remove sufficient blood away from the pulmonary circulation or non-cardiogenic precipitated by injury to the lung parenchyma. Clinical features include progressive worsening dyspnea, rales on lung auscultation, and worsening hypoxia.[1] […] Progressively worsening dyspnea, tachypnea, and rales (or crackles) on examination with associated hypoxia are the clinical features common to both cardiogenic and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. […] In patients with non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, the symptoms of infections such as fever, cough with expectoration, dyspnea pointing to likely pneumonia, recent trauma, blood transfusions should be carefully assessed as these patients may progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome.

  Pulmonary edema is the accumulation of fluid in the lung interstitium and alveoli. Clinical features include progressive dyspnea, signs of hypoxemia (e.g., cyanosis, tachycardia), and features of the underlying cause, such as S3 gallop on cardiac auscultation in cardiogenic pulmonary edema. […] General symptoms include progressive dyspnea and/or tachypnea, cough, possibly with pink frothy sputum or expectoration, and fever (e.g., secondary to pneumonia or sepsis). […] Signs of hypoxia include cyanosis and tachycardia.

• #2 What Is Pulmonary Edema? Symptoms, Risk Factors & Treatment

  https://www.emedicinehealth.com/pulmonary_edema/article_em.htm

  Pulmonary edema literally means an excess collection of watery fluid in the lungs. However, the lung is a complex organ, and there are many causes of this excess fluid accumulation. Regardless of the cause, fluid makes it difficult for the lungs to function (to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with cells in the bloodstream). […] This lack of oxygen in the bloodstream causes the primary symptom of pulmonary edema, which is shortness of breath. […] Shortness of breath is the most common symptom of pulmonary edema and is due to the failure of the lungs to provide adequate oxygen to the body. In most cases, the shortness of breath or dyspnea has a gradual onset. However, depending on the cause, it may occur acutely. For example, flash pulmonary edema, which has an abrupt onset, is often associated with a heart attack.

  Fluid within the alveoli (air spaces) of the lungs. The most common symptom of pulmonary edema is dyspnea and may include other symptoms relating to inadequate oxygen (hypoxia) such as fast breathing (tachypnea), tachycardia and cyanosis. Other common symptoms include coughing up blood (classically seen as pink or red, frothy sputum), excessive sweating, anxiety, and pale skin. Other signs include end-inspiratory crackles (crackling sounds heard at the end of a deep breath) on auscultation and the presence of a third heart sound. […] Shortness of breath can manifest as orthopnea (inability to breathe sufficiently when lying down flat) and/or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (episodes of severe sudden breathlessness at night). These are common presenting symptoms of chronic and cardiogenic pulmonary edema due to left ventricular failure.

  Cases of delayed onset are rare, but pulmonary edema has been reported to occur 1-6 h after upper airway obstruction. Since the severity of clinical manifestations is variable, some mild cases may not be recognized. The severity of the condition is related to the duration of the obstruction and the degree of pulmonary capillary damage. […] Once the airway is protected, the negative airway pressure is relieved by positive-pressure mechanical ventilation. Imaging analysis of alveolar or interstitial edema has indicated that NPPE usually resolves within 12-24 h. […] Some patients with NPPE may suffer from associated long-term complications, such as myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, hypoxic brain injury and pulmonary hemorrhage. A small number of patients may die from causes such as septic shock and cardiac arrest.
