Best Answer

You do not have interstitial compartment of the fluid in case of the pulmonary circulation. So that air is present in the very tiny alveoli. They are there in millions. Oxygen and carbon bi oxide is exchanged here almost instantly. In case of the pulmonary oedema, you get fluid here in the alveoli. The condition that is very similar to which you get the drowning. In case of the pulmonary oedema the patient is literally get drowned in his own body fluid.
