Pulmonary Edema
Pulmonary edema is a condition characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the lungs' air sacs, impairing oxygen exchange. Symptoms include severe shortness of breath, chest pain, wheezing, and coughing up pink, frothy mucus. Causes include heart failure, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pneumonia, and high altitude. Prompt medical attention is necessary, often requiring supplemental oxygen, diuretics, and treatments addressing the underlying cause. Chronic conditions like heart failure may require ongoing management to prevent recurrent episodes. Pulmonary edema can be life-threatening, particularly if left untreated, highlighting the importance of recognizing symptoms and seeking immediate medical care.
Pulmonary edema, characterized by fluid accumulation in the lungs, causes breathing difficulties and chest pain. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications and improve outcomes.
