==Overview==
Neurogenic [[pulmonary edema]] usually appears within minutes to hours after a [[Brain|cerebral]] injury. It is an acute life-threatening [[Complication (medicine)|complication]] associated with many forms of [[central nervous system]] injury, such as [[brain]] or [[spinal cord]] [[Bleeding|hemorrhage]], [[Physical trauma|trauma]], [[Tumor|tumors]], [[epilepsy]] and [[Infection|infections]]. The pathogenetic factors for the its onset include increased [[intracranial pressure]] and severe over-activation of the [[sympathetic nervous system]]. Neurogenic [[pulmonary edema]] must be differentiated from other diseases with same symptoms, include [[aspiration pneumonia]], [[Pulmonary edema, cardiogenic|cardiogenic pulmonary edema]], [[angioedema]] and [[Asthma|asthma attack]]. NPE is characterized by [[dyspnea]], bilateral basal pulmonary [[Rales|crackles]] and the other signs and symptoms of [[pulmonary edema]], in the absence of cardiac failure. [[Arterial blood gas]] test shows [[hypoxemia]], [[hypercapnia]] and [[acidosis]]. In treatment of neurogenic [[pulmonary edema]], the main principle is supportive treatment and decreasing [[intracranial pressure]] as in [[acute respiratory distress syndrome]].

Overview

Neurogenic pulmonary edema usually appears within minutes to hours after a cerebral injury. It is an acute life-threatening complication associated with many forms of central nervous system injury, such as brain or spinal cord hemorrhage, trauma, tumors, epilepsy and infections. The pathogenetic factors for the its onset include increased intracranial pressure and severe over-activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Neurogenic pulmonary edema must be differentiated from other diseases with same symptoms, include aspiration pneumonia, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, angioedema and asthma attack. NPE is characterized by dyspnea, bilateral basal pulmonary crackles and the other signs and symptoms of pulmonary edema, in the absence of cardiac failure. Arterial blood gas test shows hypoxemia, hypercapnia and acidosis. In treatment of neurogenic pulmonary edema, the main principle is supportive treatment and decreasing intracranial pressure as in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
