Pulmonary Edema

چکیده
Pulmonary edema is a common problem in dogs and cats in both the emergency room and the intensive care unit. A good understanding of the physiology of fluid flow through the lungs is of paramount importance for developing techniques for rational patient management. The normal lung consists of a network of capillaries lined with endothelial cells, surrounding airspaces lined with alveolar epithelium, through which exchange of gas molecules occurs. The capillary endothelium is separated from the alveolar epithelium by a very thin layer of interstitium.

Mathematical Modelling of Pulmonary Edema
The excess accumulation of water in lung interstitial or alveolar is called pulmonary edema which is caused by factors that upset the normal Starling balance in micro-circulation. Pulmonary edema disturbs the alveolar gas exchanges which are normally regulated by the respiratory system. Mathematical modelling of pulmonary edema may help to predict the lung conditions and the mechanisms involved...

While pulmonary thromboembolism is common, thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is very rare. The present case is a 35 year old woman with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, who presented with severe dyspnea and leg edema, following an earlier thrombotic event of 10 years earlier, after her her second childbearing. She also had a history of the first childbearing complicated with c...
