Pulmonary edema causes respiratory failure

Pulmonary edema can cause respiratory failure, its causes include cardiogenic, non-cardiogenic, plateau, uremic and drug, symptoms include dyspnea, diagnosis depends on clinical manifestations, treatment includes treatment, oxygen therapy, drug therapy, mechanical ventilation and support therapy. Pulmonary edema is a serious disease, if not treated in time, may lead to respiratory failure, even life-threatening. This article will discuss the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of respiratory failure caused by pulmonary edema. There are many causes of pulmonary edema, common are the following: 1. Cardiogenic pulmonary edema: due to heart failure, resulting in poor blood circulation, blood accumulation in the lungs, causing pulmonary edema. 2. Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema: including infection, poisoning, allergies, physical factors caused by pulmonary edema. 3. High altitude pulmonary edema: Due to the thin oxygen in plateau areas, the human body needs more oxygen, resulting in pulmonary vasodilation, fluid exudation, causing pulmonary edema. 4. Uremic pulmonary edema: due to renal insufficiency, resulting in the retention of metabolites in the body, causing pulmonary edema. 5. Drug-induced pulmonary edema: Certain drugs may cause increased pulmonary vascular permeability, causing pulmonary edema. Second, pulmonary edema causes respiratory failure symptoms Pulmonary edema causes respiratory failure symptoms mainly include dyspnea, cough, expectoration, chest distress, chest pain, cyanosis, etc. If the condition is serious, confusion, coma and other symptoms may also occur. The diagnosis of pulmonary edema caused by respiratory failure mainly depends on clinical manifestations, imaging examinations and laboratory examinations. Commonly used examination methods include chest X-ray, CT, blood gas analysis, etc. Treat the cause of pulmonary edema, such as controlling infection, correcting heart failure, and getting rid of the plateau environment. 2. Oxygen therapy: Give patients oxygen to correct hypoxemia. 3. Drug therapy: Use diuretics, vasodilators, cardiotonics and other drugs to reduce pulmonary edema and improve heart function. 4. Mechanical ventilation: If the patient's condition is serious and respiratory failure occurs, mechanical ventilation is required to help the patient breath.5.Supportive treatment: nutritional support, water and electrolyte balance adjustment are given to the patient to maintain the patient's vital signs.5.Summary Pulmonary edema is a serious disease that may lead to respiratory failure or even life-threatening if not treated in time. There are many causes of respiratory failure caused by pulmonary edema, such as cardiogenic pulmonary edema, non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema, high altitude pulmonary edema, uremic pulmonary edema and drug-induced pulmonary edema. The symptoms of respiratory failure caused by pulmonary edema mainly include dyspnea, cough, expectoration, chest distress, chest pain, cyanosis, etc.

The diagnosis of respiratory failure caused by pulmonary edema mainly depends on clinical manifestations, imaging and laboratory examinations. The treatment of respiratory failure caused by pulmonary edema mainly includes etiological treatment, oxygen therapy, drug therapy, mechanical ventilation and supportive treatment.
