Overview
Classification
Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema
Cardiogenic pulmonary edema can be distinguished from noncardiogenic pulmonary edema by the presence of redistribution of blood flow to the upper lobes (increased blood flow to the higher parts of the lung) and interstitial edema.
Noncardiogenic Pulmonary Edema
In contrast, patchy alveolar infiltrates with air bronchograms are more indicative of noncardiogenic edema.
