but it may be lung infections. When pulmonary edema results from lung infections, such as pneumonia, the edema occurs only in the part of your lung that's inflamed. Or it could be kidney disease. When your kidneys can't remove waste effectively, excess fluid can build up, causing pulmonary edema.
Hope this gives you a perspective. Thanks for sharing and posting the question. Take care.
Are you suffering from hypertension? High blood pressure is one of the causes of fluid in the lungs or pulmonary edema. It can be due to coronary artery disease,cardiomyopathy or heart valve disease. A detailed examination by a physician/cardiologist and investigations like ECG, Echocardiography and angiography can confirm the diagnosis.
Are you taking any antidiabetics or chemotherapy? It is also one of the causes of pulmonary edema.
Would a 79 year old woman in a drug induced coma need depression meds? By the grace of god among many other things I saw her go through bc of negligence or lack of knowledge... She home and has a new pacemaker! The last 2 weeks she has severe back pain and the nurses have come to the house to check her and they said maybe a twisted bladder? She went to a Urologist today and he told her she had previously had huge amounts of yeast in her blood,. Then we found out she had Sepsis ?
Deep vessel thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot. Apparently, the doctor believes the presence of edema suggests DVT otherwise coumadin would not be prescribed. Coumadin helps prevent clots. For some insight the lower extremity DVT is much more likely to cause pulmonary embolism (lung clots) and that is very serious medical condition.
Can pulmonary edema develop and cause death in 15 minutes? My father went in for removal of a pollup on his colon that wasn't cancerous. The surgery was on Wednesday. On sunday, he died from what the hospital is saying was pulmonary edema. This just doesn't make sense. Please help us understand what this is.
For a perspective, pulmonary edema (water in the lungs) and pneumonia are separate issues. Pulmonary edema is usually related to LV dysfunction. It appears the underlying problem is the mitral valve sclerosis (narrowing of opening) and mitral valve regurgitation. The valve problems can stress the heart and cause it to enlarge, and/or an ischemic enlarged LV can aggravate the valve problems especially MVR.
Yes, it is possible your brother could have had pulmonary edema. I had congested (pulmonary edema) heart failure. With that I had a severe dry cough, choking feeling, hyperventilation when reclined. Sitting up gave relief, but my pulmonary edema was classified as mild...I wouldn't wish a severe case on anyone!
Antibiotics is ineffective for pulmonary edema. A strong antibiotic for pnuemonia should have helped.
drug overdose especially narcotics, high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and neurogenic pulmonary edema, such as after a seizure. Yours could have been a response to the anesthetic or other medicines or to aspiration. It would be good to check if aspiration occurred, and what medicines you were given at the time of surgery, including the anesthetics, for your future safety, should you again have to be anesthetized.
For a perspective blood flow through the defect from the left ventricle (LV) to the right ventricle (RV) results in oxygenated blood entering the pulmonary artery (PA). This extra blood in addition to the normal pulmonary flow increases blood flow to the lungs and subsequently increases pulmonary venous return into the left atrium (LA) and ultimately into the LV. This increased LV volume results in LV dilatation and then hypertrophy.
As long as the mucus is not green, which indicates infection, I think that is normal. Is he on antibiotics?
There two causes of pulmonary edema and that is heart failure backload that causes fluids to leak into the lung tissues. And the edema can be caused by an injury to the lungs, and it can be directly or indirectly caused by increased pulmonary blood pressure, pulmonary edema may appear when this pressure increases from the normal 15 mmHg to above 25 mmHg.
I had pulmonary edema due to heart failure, and I was in ICU for several days to removed fluids and stabilize the oxygen level to normal.
My cat has been recovering from what is believed to be Pulmonary Edema. He has been taking 5mg of Frusemide and Synulox twice a day. This seems to have made him so much better and the rapid breathing (60 per min) he was experiencing before decreased to normal levels whilst on this medication. Today though, it seems to be elevated to 47 per min and looking very pronounced. Why would this be? He is due back at the vet on Tuesday. Should I wait until then or see them earlier?
What you may be referring to are pulmonary embolisms (blood clots in respiratory system). To test for that can be pulmonary angiography with a catheter device . It's not available at all hospitals, and a trained specialist must perform the test.
Pulmonary angiography is a test used to diagnose pulmonary embolism. The procedure involves a flexible tube called a catheter that is threaded through the groin (upper thigh) or arm to the blood vessels in the lungs.
As I said on the previous post I cannot help you it need an expert response .,have you checked out the pediatric heart forum ?
You would need an echocardiogram exam to determine the degree of regurgitation (backflow) of blood into the RV chamber rather than going to the lungs to be oxygenated. The backflow if moderate to severe could cause blood in the system to not flow adequately and the condition would/could leak fluids into the peripheral tissues (edema).
It could also mean pulmonary edema but this is a serious condition. But as fluid was drawn it could be pleural effusion. It occurs in pneumonias, lung cancer, breast cancer and lymphomas. It can also occur in cardiac failure, liver failure and nephrotic syndrome. So, further therapy and prognosis will depend on the cause. If you can get back with the diagnosis, I can help elaborate further. Regards.
She was 86 and admited the same day I was with an infection in her foot that was the consequence of a recent removal of melanoma on that foot (!?). The next day after admission an infectious disease research specialist told her within my earshot that she had suspected MRSA (culture not thru yet) ad would she sign up for double blind study for an alternative to vancomycin.blah,.blah.blah. I confronted him about isolating her and he said we aren't sure..but we will.
