Overview
The major complications of cardiogenic pulmonary edema are respiratory failure and sudden cardiac death secondary to cardiac arrhythmia. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are effective for secondary prevention in cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
Secondary Prevention
Effective measures for the secondary prevention of cardiogenic pulmonary edema include prompt diagnosis and treatment.[1]
- The major complications associated with cardiogenic pulmonary edema are respiratory fatigue and failure. Prompt diagnosis and treatment usually prevent these complications
- Provide assisted ventilation if the patient begins to show signs of respiratory fatigue as following:
- lethargy
- Fatigue
- Diaphoresis
- Worsening anxiety
- Continuous monitoring of heart rhythm is effective to prevent sudden cardiac death secondary to arrhythmia
