  2. Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paroxysmal_nocturnal_dyspnoea

    [5] Respiratory muscles and vagal afferent neural pathways relay information from the chest wall/airways to the central nervous system, facilitating the presentation of dyspnea. [4] In people with underlying congestive heart failure, this redistribution may overload the pulmonary circulation, causing increased pulmonary congestion. In ...

  3. Pulmonary edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_edema

    Pulmonary edema (British English: oedema), also known as pulmonary congestion, is excessive fluid accumulation in the tissue or air spaces (usually alveoli) of the lungs. [1] This leads to impaired gas exchange , most often leading to shortness of breath ( dyspnea ) which can progress to hypoxemia and respiratory failure .

  5. Acute decompensated heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_decompensated_heart...

    Opioids have traditionally been used in the treatment of the acute pulmonary edema that results from acute decompensated heart failure. A 2006 review, however, found little evidence to support this practice. [17] The National Institutes for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines do not recommend routinely offering opioids in acute heart ...

  6. Negative-pressure pulmonary edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-pressure...

    NPPE develops as a result of significant negative pressure generated in the chest cavity by inspiration against an upper airway obstruction. These negative pressures in the chest lead to increase venous supply to the right side of the heart while simultaneously creating more resistance for the left side of the heart to supply blood to the rest of the body (). [4]

  7. Restrictive lung disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictive_lung_disease

    Medical treatment for restrictive lung disease is normally limited to supportive care since both the intrinsic and extrinsic causes can have irreversible effects on lung compliance. [10] The supportive therapies focus on maximizing pulmonary function and preserving activity tolerance through oxygen therapy, bronchodilators, inhaled beta ...
