Video supplement to “A Lifesaver Trinity for Unilateral Pulmonary Edema in a Cardiac Intensive Care Unit,” by Karelas, et al. (August 2022 Clinical Images).
A 72-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complained of worsening dyspnea. Physical examination and several diagnostic tests led to a diagnosis of unilateral pulmonary edema, which manifests as a classic radiographic image, but is usually misdiagnosed. The trinity of high positive end-expiratory pressure, intra-aortic balloon pump, and continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration may be life-saving. This video series outlines a patient's diagnosis and treatment.
