Description

In most of the cases, heart problems are related to the pulmonary edema. Both pulmonary edema and pneumonia are related to a build-up of fluid in your lungs. An infection leads to the occurrence of pneumonia. The infection may be bacterial, viral or fungi. Pulmonary edema is generally related to heart diseases, but it shows other possible reasons namely blood transfusion reactions as well as kidney failure. Primary pulmonary edema is divided two groups such as cardiogenic (heart related) group and non-cardiogenic (non heart-related) group. High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is observed, if you especially at high altitude or if you are rapidly going up a mountain. Negative pulmonary edema is seen especially after a blockage in your upper airways. Pulmonary edema is classified is classified into sudden (acute) as well as long - term (chronic) types. Blood chemistries, cardiac cauterization, chest X ray. Complete blood count (CBC), ECG and pulse oximetry are helpful in diagnosing pulmonary edema. Treatment is also based on iv diuretics, iv inotropes, nitrates and oxygen. Treatment is dependent upon the machines and medications. Antibiotics, steroids, ventilators or respirators are useful in treating pulmonary edema. Prevention of pulmonary edema is based on routine vaccinations, healthy diet along with low salt and regulation of body weight.
