- Description
Acute edema of the lung is the accumulation of fluid in the alveoli that prevents normal oxygenation of the blood and causes hypoxia. It is a medical emergency that must be identified and treated early to avoid further complications or death of the patient. This present clinical case study aims to characterize the respiratory assistance process to a 74-year-old male patient with acute lung edema with a pathological history who enters the emergency area with progressive cough, poor ventilatory mechanics, orthopnea, drowsy level of consciousness, tachypneic and edema of upper and lower extremities. In his are shown, for which he required ventilatory assistance and pharmacological medications to improve his symptoms. The evolution of the patient was satisfactory thanks to the different therapeutic treatments, one of which was non-invasive mechanical ventilation and the pharmacological one. Acute edema of the lung is a complication of either cardiogenic or non-cardiogenic nature that must be treated diagnostic test, specifically his chest X-ray, typical images of acute lung edema as quickly as possible.

El edema agudo del pulmón es la acumulación de líquido en los alveolos que impide la oxigenación normal de la sangre y ocasiona hipoxia. Es una emergencia médica que debe identificarse y tratarse con tiempo para evitar más complicaciones o la muerte del paciente. Este presente estudio de caso clínico tiene como objetivo caracterizar el proceso de asistencia respiratoria al paciente masculino de 74 años con edema agudo del pulmón con antecedentes patológicos que ingresa al área de emergencia con tos progresiva, mala mecánica ventilatoria, ortopnea, nivel de conciencia somnoliento, taquipneico y edema de extremidades superiores e inferiores. En sus pruebas de diagnóstico específicamente en su radiografía de tórax se muestran imagines típicas de edema aguda de pulmón por lo que requirió asistencia ventilatoria y medicamentos farmacológicos para mejorar sus síntomas. La evolución del paciente fue satisfactoria gracias a los diferentes tratamientos terapéuticos que fueron aplicados uno de ellos la ventilación mecánica no invasiva y el farmacológico. El edema agudo del pulmón es una complicación ya sea de carácter cardiogénico o no cardiogénico debe ser tratada lo más rápido posible.
