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.
There are 6 types of edema. Generalized edema, skin edema, peripheral edema, corneal edema, cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, myxedema and lymphedema.
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.
Pulmonary edema is swelling in the lungs. The swelling is from fluid. The fluid causes the exchange of oxygen with co2 to become impaired. The result is hypoxia which is lack of oxygen in the blood.
Yes it is. A common method of treatment is diuretic therapy with drugs like lasix.

Pulmonary edema is a result of a left ventricle failure or simply congestive heart failure which results in the heart not being able to remove fluid from lung circulation.
Pulmonary Edema is when liquids fill your lungs. It's caused by the left arterie failure.

Patients with pulmonary edema may undergo phlebotomy procedures to decrease their total blood volume.

There are many diseases and conditions that can cause pulmonary edema or fluid/water buildup in the lungs. Starting with Infectious Diseases, any bacteria or virus that results in fulminant pneumonia will likely cause fluid accumulation in the lungs. Acquired diseases such as cardiovascular disease often cause pulmonary edema through impaired blood return to the heart. Cancer can also cause pulmonary edema, both through inciting an inflammatory response as well as mechanically blocking adequate blood flow.

Cardiac pulmonary edema - also known as congestive heart failure - occurs when the diseased or overworked left ventricle isn't able to pump out enough of the blood it receives from your lungs.
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.
