Condition | ↑ Hydrostatic pressure; ↑ vascular permeability; ↓ plasma colloid osmotic pressure; negative interstitial pressure; obstructed lymphatic drainage |
Presentation | Pink frothy sputum; ↑ HR; ↑ RR; ↓ SpO2; ↑ CVP; ↑ PCWP |
Immediate action | 100% oxygen; ↓ PCWP by posture |
Follow-up action | Opioids; diuretics; vasodilators |
Investigations | CXR; ECG; ABG; consider PA catheter studies |
Also consider | Asthma MI ARDS Drug reaction Aspiration |
