Overview

Primary Prevention

Cardiogenic pulmonary edmea

Cardiogenic pulmonary edema is due to heart-related illnesses. Primary prevention include:[1]

  • Maintaining a healthy lifestyle
  • Low salt diet
  • Controlling hypertension
  • Controling diabetes

Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema

  • High-altitude pulmonary edema
    • Effective measures for the primary prevention of altitude sickness include:[2][3]
      • Avoiding alcohol ingestion
      • High carbohydrate in diet
      • Adequate hydration
      • Vigorous exertion during the first few days at high altitude
      • Oxygen Enrichment
      • Druges
        • Ibuprofen
        • Acetazolamide
        • Sumatriptan
        • Sprinolactone
        • Steroids
  • Acute respiratory distress syndrome
    • For more information about primary intervention in acute respiratory distress syndrome click here.
