Pulmonary edema a few days can cure

A few days for patients with pulmonary edema depends on the specific condition of the patient. For example, some mild acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema, given active diuresis, vasodilation, cardiotonic and other corresponding treatment measures, the patient's chest tightness symptoms can be completely relieved in a few days, pulmonary edema can be corrected quickly. However, for some severe cardiogenic pulmonary edema, the treatment time may be relatively long. Even if the patient is given standardized treatment, the symptoms of chest tightness and dyspnea may be relieved slowly. This part of the patient even needs to be given non-invasive mechanical ventilation treatment, and even a small number of patients need endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation treatment. In addition, some patients with acute non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema are also more severe and the treatment time is relatively long. For example, acute respiratory distress syndrome, the condition is more critical, even if given standardized treatment, the patient's hospitalization time is also relatively long, the mortality rate is also relatively high.
