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

High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a life-threatening form of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema (fluid accumulation in the lungs)...
Edema is the medical term for swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in body tissues. There are several types of edema, including peripheral edema (swelling in the extremities), pulmonary edema (fluid accumulation in the lungs), cerebral edema (swelling in the brain), and macular edema (swelling in the retina of the eye). Each type of edema can have different causes and treatments, depending on the underlying condition.

Am pretty sure its called the pulmonary surfactant that's produced from the lungs
