Edem pulmonar4/7/2024 ![]() This damage may be direct injury or injury mediated by high pressures within the pulmonary circulation. Ĭlassically it is cardiogenic (left ventricular) but fluid may also accumulate due to damage to the lung. The term edema is from the Greek οἴδημα ( oidēma, "swelling"), from οἰδέω ( oidéō, "(I) swell"). It is a cardinal feature of congestive heart failure. Pulmonary edema, especially when sudden (acute), can lead to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest due to hypoxia. Treatment is focused on three aspects: firstly improving respiratory function, secondly, treating the underlying cause, and thirdly avoiding further damage to the lung. It is due to either failure of the left ventricle of the heart to remove blood adequately from the pulmonary circulation (cardiogenic pulmonary edema), or an injury to the lung tissue or blood vessels of the lung (non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema). It leads to impaired gas exchange and may cause respiratory failure. Pulmonary edema (PE), also known as pulmonary congestion, is liquid accumulation in the tissue and air spaces of the lungs.
