A New Look at Pulmonary Edema

GA Laine, SJ Allen, JP Williams, J Katz, JC Gabel and RE Drake

Fluid accumulation within the lungs is a potentially fatal complication in critically ill patients. Sepsis and increased microvascular permeability are often implicated as the cause. This article shows that edema can be prevented by lowering systemic venous pressure (to permit pulmonary lymph to drain), by lowering pulmonary arterial pressure, and by maintaining plasma colloid osmotic pressure. It points out the importance of understanding the basic physiology behind pulmonary edema and therapeutic measures.
