surface tension of fluid lining the alveoli pull fluid from alveolar wall by average pressure= -3 mmHg in normal lung , but without surfactant it's increased to -20 mmHg , thus massive filtration of the fluid leads to pulmonary edema .
Pulmonary Edema is when liquids fill your lungs. It's caused by the left arterie failure.
There are 6 types of edema. Generalized edema, skin edema, peripheral edema, corneal edema, cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, myxedema and lymphedema.
Patients with pulmonary edema may undergo phlebotomy procedures to decrease their total blood volume.
pulmonary edema
Flash pulmonary edema is a rapid onset edema that occurs in the lungs. Typically it is precipitated by a myocardial infarction or heart failure. Pulmonary edema is treated by treating the underlying cause which is most commonly some form of heart failure.
Normally very little to no fluid enters the alveoli of the lungs. In pulmonary edema there is increased pressure in the pulmonary veins. So fluid escapes in the alveoli of the lungs, making transfer of the oxygen impossible from such alveoli. Patient feels suffocated and starve for oxygen, in pulmonary edema.
They damage the alveolar-capillary membrane

High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a life-threatening form of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema (fluid accumulation in the lungs)...
A noncardiogenic pulmonary edema is an injury that effects the lungs. It means that it was not something that the body created but was a result from a blow to the body on the outside.
Am pretty sure its called the pulmonary surfactant that's produced from the lungs
