You give IV fluid to the patient. Generally there are two types of fluids. IV normal saline or Ringer's lactate and 5 % dextrose. All of them have same osmotic pressure as the body fluid has got. But the dextrose is rapidly used by body to give you plane water. So the normal saline and Ringer's lactate solution is distributed across the extracellular compartment. Dextrose, that means plane water is distributed across the whole body fluid. Normal adult has got 14 liters of extracellular fluid and 28 liters of fluid inside the cells. You have the fluid in the body till kidneys excrete the same. Respective fluid spreads across the respective cellular compartment. It gives you edema.
There are 6 types of edema. Generalized edema, skin edema, peripheral edema, corneal edema, cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, myxedema and lymphedema.
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.
Edema is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in your body's tissues. Although edema can affect any part of your body, it's most commonly noticed in your hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs. Edema can be the result of underlying medical conditions, certain medications or pregnancy. Identifying and treating the underlying cause of edema is key to effectively controlling it. Self-care measures coupled with medication that removes excess fluid usually can effectively treat edema.
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
There are 6 types of edema. Generalized edema, skin edema, peripheral edema, corneal edema, cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, myxedema and lymphedema.
There are a few complications. Two serious ones are phlebitis, which is inflammation and red streaks usually up the arm or, infiltration which is swelling and coolness at the IV site, that can lead to edema. Of course with any penetration into the skin you have a risk of infection.
Discogenic edema is swelling (edema) of the vertebra in the spine (disc's).
edema
edema is found in the interstitial fluid
Edema
Non-pitting edema is a type of swelling. Pitting edema occurs when the swollen area is pressed and remains indented. The indentation does not occur with non-pitting edema.
Gerard Edema was born in 1652.
Gerard Edema died in 1700.
Perifocal edema is swelling of the brain tissue.
