Pulmonary Edema Index

Featured: Pulmonary Edema Main Article
Pulmonary edema (swelling or fluid in the lungs) can either be caused by cardiogenic causes (congestive heart failure, heart attacks, abnormal heart valves) or noncardiogenic causes such as ARDS, kidney failure, high altitude, brain trauma, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, aspirin overdose, pulmonary embolism, infections, and eclampsia in pregnant women. The treatment of pulmonary edema depends on the cause of the condition.
