Flash pulmonary edema is also referred to as FPE and it is described as c condition where the symptoms associated with pulmonary edema may develop at a rapid pace. Flash pulmonary edema is often observed in patients suffering from myocardial infarctions.In case of acute myocardial infarction or mitral regurgitation, there is accumulation of fluid in […]
Pulmonary edema is a condition where there is accumulation of excessive fluids around the lungs and if untreated it may also progress into a life threatening condition. It has been found that are many factors that lead to pulmonary edema. Sometimes there may be a combination of various factors that causes pulmonary edema. When pulmonary
Reexpansion pulmonary edema or RPE are terms used to describe the condition where after a lung has been collapsed from more than several days it will be rapidly reexpanded and this associated with pulmonary edema that is associated with the reexpanded lungs. According to reports it has been found there expansion pulmonary edema is a
Although neurogenic pulmonary edema may occur very rarely, it is a focus of interest for the clinicians as well as researchers. According to reports it has been reported that neurogenic pulmonary edema develops within a few hours after a neurogenic insult. However it is difficult to identify this condition as the diagnosis will include exclusion
Negative pressure pulmonary edema is associated with a large inpiratory force that may have been caused due to an obstruction in the wind pipe. The condition of negative pressure pulmonary edema can be observed in patients who are having a laryngeal tumor. Negative pressure pulmonary edema may lead to potentially dangerous condition and is associated
Acute pulmonary oedema is a condition where excessive fluid is filled in the lungs and it leads to great suffocation and it is a life threatening condition. It is important to understand the anatomy of heart in order to learn about acute pulmonary oedema. The human heart is divided into four chambers with a left
In case of pulmonary edema the lymphatic available in the lungs are unable to drain excess fluids and this leads to accumulation of fluid in the interstitial region and is known as interstitial pulmonary edema. This result is pulmonary edema that needs immediate medical attention. There may be various factors that lead to interstitial pulmonary
Interstitial edema is immediately followed by the next stage of florid pulmonary edema. When there is an imbalance in the oncotic and hydrostatic pressure in the lungs excess fluid is accumulated in the interstitial spaces of the lungs. In florid pulmonary edema the excess fluid is filled in the space between the capillary and lung
In most cases it has been found that pulmonary edema is associated with various cardiogenic factors. But there are several noncardiogenic pulmonary edema factors like upper airway obstruction, intravenous fluid overload and other neurogenic causes. Various obstructions in the upper airway cause noncardiogenic form of pulmonary edema when there is laryngeal tumor or epiglottis. In
Pulmonary edema cardiogenic is a condition where there is accumulation of excessive fluids in the lungs leading to pulmonary edema. In case the edema is caused due to underlying cardiac conditions, it is known as pulmonary edema cardiogenic. When there is pulmonary edema cardiogenic the clinicians will focus on treating the underlying heart ailment. But
