Background
- Differentiate this from acute CHF exacerbation or hypotensive cardiogenic shock, which does not display sympathetic overdrive
- Pts can decompensate rapidly, so rapid intervention required.
- Pts are generally more fluid depleted despite "wet" lungs, so don't give diuretics
- Usually hx of poorly controlled HTN
- Acute afterload increase causes pulmonary edema and poor peripheral perfusion
- Sympathetic surge occurs as a result of decreased systemic perfusion
- Afterload further increases and pt rapidly decompensates
Clinical Presentation
- Rales, crackles
- SBP > 180 mmHg
- Tachycardic
Differential Diagnosis
Pulmonary Edema Types
Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure <18 mmHg differentiates noncardiogenic from cardiogenic pulmonary edema[1]
- Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
- Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema
- Negative pressure pulmonary edema
- Upper airway obstruction
- Reexpansion pulmonary edema
- Strangulation
- Neurogenic causes
- Iatrogenic fluid overload
- Multiple blood transfusions
- IV fluid
- Inhalation injury
- Pulmonary contusion
- Aspiration pneumonia and pneumonitis
- Other
- High altitude pulmonary edema
- Hypertensive emergency
- ARDS
- Flash pulmonary edema
- Immersion pulmonary edema
- Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome
- Missed dialysis in kidney failure
- Naloxone reversal
- Negative pressure pulmonary edema
Diagnostic Evaluation
- CBC (r/o anemia)
- Chem
- ECG
- CXR
- Cephalization
- Interstitial edema
- Pulmonary venous congestion
- Pleural effusion
- Alveolar edema
- Cardiomegaly
- Troponin?
- Ultrasound
- Bedside to assess global function, B lines, assessment of IVC
- Formal TTE/TEE
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)[2]
- Measurement
- <100 pg/mL: Negative for acute CHF (Sn 90%, NPV 89%)
- 100-500 pg/mL: Indeterminate (Consider differential diagnosis and pre-test probability)
- >500 pg/mL: Positive for acute CHF (Sp 87%, PPV 90%)
- Combination of BNP with clinician judgment 94% sensitive 70% specific (compared to 49% sn and 96% spec clinical judgement alone) [3]
NT-proBNP[4][5][6]
- <300 pg/mL → CHF unlikely
- CHF likely in:
- >450 pg/mL in age < 50 years old
- >900 pg/mL in 50-75 years old
- >1800 pg/mL in > 75 years old
Management
- Key is to vasodilate arterial side, while maintaining oxygenation
- BiPAP with PEEP of 8 mmHg
- Titrate PEEP quickly to 12
- High dose nitroglycerin over 2 min (at these doses, NTG has vasodilation > venodilation[7])
- Goal BP at the pt's norm
- Load 800 mcg over 2 min (may start at 100 mcg/min, then titrate rapidly to 400 mcg/min for 2 min)
- Then start maintenance at 100 mcg/min, titrate up as needed
- Give fluids to avoid decreasing BP too much (pts are likely more dehydrated that overloaded)
- However, after critical parts under control, assess for volume overload
- Consider captopril 12.5 - 25 mg SL for continuation of afterload reduction[8]
- Wean CPAP after sustained BP at pt's norm[9]
- Decrease FiO2 to 40%
- Wean PEEP down 2 cmH2O q10 min
- At 5 cmH2O, trial of NC
Disposition
- Admit
