Oxygen therapy
- Administer oxygen as early as possible
- Achieve 95% arterial oxygen saturation (90% in COPD patients)
- Caution should be taken in patients with severe airway obstruction to avoid hypercapnia
Drug therapy
- loop diuretics
- Morphine and Its Analogues
- Vasopressin Antagonists
- Vasodilators
- Inotropic agents
- Dobutamine
- Dopamin
- Vasopressor
- Milrinone and Enoximone
- Cardiac Glycosides
