Background
- Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema due to lung capillary endothelial injury
- Proteinaceous material accumulate in alveoli in a heterogeneous manner
- Symptom of an underlying disease
Clinical Features
- Diagnostic criteria[1]
- New onset respiratory symptoms
- Bilateral pulmonary opacities
- Symptoms not explained by cardiac etiology or volume overload
class="wikitable"
- Presentation
- Severe dyspnea
- Hypoxemia
- Diffuse crackles
- Imaging
- Diffuse patchy pulmonary infiltrates
- Causes
- Sepsis
- Pancreatitis
- Burns
- Aspiration
- Trauma
- Near drowning
- Fat embolism
- Amniotic fluid embolism
Differential Diagnosis
Workup
- CXR
- CBC
- Chem 10
- UA
- LFT
- Lipase
- PT/PTT
- Influenza (seasonal)
- Blood cultures
- Lactate
- Consider bedside echo
- Consider ABG/VBG
- Consider BNP
Management
- Treat underlying cause
- Cover for sepsis
- Pneumonia in addition to other identified source
- Tamiflu 75mg BID oral or NGT if influenza season [2]
- Cover for sepsis
- Supplemental O2
- Noninvasive ventilation
- Limited data to support use
- Ventilator Settings
- Permissive hypercapnia
- Tidal volume 6-8cc/kg of ideal body weight[3]
- Maintain plateau pressures < 30 [5]
- Ensure adequate sedation
- Better synchrony with vent
- Decreased oxygen consumption
- Less delirium
- Increased patient comfort
- Prone ventilation
- Preliminary data suggests prone positioning may increase survival
- Consider for refractory hypoxemia
Disposition
- Admit to ICU
