- Non cardiogenic pulmonary oedema
Non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema is a classification of pulmonary oedema where the underlying aetiology is not due to left ventricular dysfunction. Causes include:
- fluid overload
- pulmonary oedema with acute asthma
- post-obstructive pulmonary oedema/postintubation pulmonary oedema/negative pressure pulmonary oedema
- pulmonary oedema in pulmonary thromboembolism
- pulmonary oedema due to air embolism
- pulmonary veno-occlusive disease
- near drowning pulmonary oedema/asphyxiation pulmonary oedema
- ARDS - pulmonary oedema with diffuse alveolar damage
- heroin-induced pulmonary oedema
- pulmonary oedema following administration of cytokines
- transfusion-related acute lung injury
- high-altitude pulmonary oedema
- neurogenic pulmonary oedema
- reperfusion pulmonary oedema
- pulmonary oedema following lung transplantation
- re-expansion pulmonary oedema
- post-pneumonectomy pulmonary oedema
- post lung volume reduction pulmonary oedema
- pulmonary oedema from anti-snake venom administration
- activity-related
The causes of non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema can be recalled with the following mnemonic: NOTCARDIAC.
