What is Pulmonary Edema?

Pulmonary Edema is a serious medical condition caused by the accumulation of fluid in the air sacs of the lungs. This fluid buildup interferes with normal breathing and oxygen exchange, making the condition potentially life-threatening.

In many cases, pulmonary edema is linked to heart-related issues such as congestive heart failure. When the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, pressure builds up in the blood vessels of the lungs, causing fluid to leak into the alveoli.

Common symptoms of acute pulmonary edema include:
