Summary
Key Learning Points
1. Pulmonary oedema occurs when pulmonary capillary membrane permeability or hydrostatic pressure is increased.
2. Pulmonary oedema is categorised as either cardiogenic or non-cardiogenic, and early diagnosis of the underlying cause is key.
3. Patients with cardiogenic pulmonary oedema secondary to acute heart failure are often hypovolaemic/euvolaemic, and treatment with diuretics is associated with increased mortality, myocardial infarction and the need for mechanical ventilation. Vasodilators and prompt consideration of non-invasive ventilation are advised.
4. In patients with cardiogenic shock secondary to chronic decompensated heart failure, diuresis and prompt consideration of non-invasive ventilation are advised.
5. In patients with non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, the role of non-invasive ventilation is less clear and early endotracheal intubation should be considered.
