Pulmonary Edema and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Tracking # 20-915862
Course overview
The two main types of pulmonary edema are cardiogenic and noncardiogenic. Although the presenting signs and symptoms of both types of pulmonary edema may appear the same, the causes and, therefore, the treatments vary significantly. Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema often leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In this course, you will look at interventions and treatments for patients with ARDS as well as both types of pulmonary edema.
