That is not possible. The fluid is collected in millions of very small air spaces.
Blood. The human heart is divided into two halves, which act as two pumps. The right half of the heart collects deoxygenated blood drained from all over the body, and pumps that deoxygenated blood into both lungs. The left half of the heart collects oxygenated blood drained from both lungs, and pumps that oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition that occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood strongly enough throughout the body to maintain circulation. This causes a backup of fluids in both the lungs and the rest of the body. Symptoms of CHF include dyspnea with activity, cough, weakness and
Congestive Heart Failure
If one has fluid in their lungs it probably means they have Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). This is a problem in which the heart cannot pump blood to the other organs.
right ventricle
congestive heart failure
Pink frothy sputum in heart failure is caused by the accumulation of fluid in the lungs, known as pulmonary edema. This occurs when the heart is unable to effectively pump blood, leading to a backup of fluid in the lungs. The pink color comes from the presence of blood in the fluid, indicating damage to the tiny blood vessels in the lungs.
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.
Cor pulmonale
I think Pleural (lungs), Peritoneal (abdomen), and Pericardial (heart) fluids are normally sterile. Also, synovial (joints) and cerebral spinal fluids.
You are talking about "heart failure". There are two kinds. Edema (swelling) in the feet happens when the heart is having trouble pumping blood out of the body and to the lungs for oxygenation. Because of this, fluids build up in the extremities. Sometimes the heart has trouble pumping blood out of the lungs and back into the body's general circulation. In this case the build-up of fluid is in the lungs.
There are many ways to get liquid in your lungs. If you're not breathing well enough, this can cause liquid to collect in your lungs. Heart failure, aspiration and many other things can cause liquid in the lungs as well.
