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]
  1. New onset respiratory symptoms
  2. Bilateral pulmonary opacities
  3. Symptoms not explained by cardiac etiology or volume overload

class="wikitable"


Differential Diagnosis

Pulmonary Edema Types

Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure <18 mmHg differentiates noncardiogenic from cardiogenic pulmonary edema[2]

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 [3]
  • Supplemental O2
  • Noninvasive ventilation
    • Limited data to support use
  • Ventilator Settings
    • Permissive hypercapnia
    • Tidal volume 6-8cc/kg of ideal body weight[4]
      • Limit barotrauma to healthy area of lung
      • Increase PEEP to improve oxygenation
    • Maintain plateau pressures < 30 [6]
    • 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
