Cardiavascular diseases are the number 1 cause of death worldwide. Number of patients, suffering from congestive heart failure are constantly increasing. One of the most dangerous complication of congestive heart failure is cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
Objective: To identify effectiveness of mechanical lung ventilation in cardiogenic pulmonary edema (CPE) patients.
Methods: It was a retrospective study of 87 CPE cases treated with mechanical lung ventilation. Severity of CHF and associated pathologies were stratified. Weaning this patients from mechanical ventilation were studied.
Findings: In group of survived patients severity of CHF and associated pathologies were less expressed. In group of successful weaning from mechanical lung ventilation all criteria of weaning where followed much accurately.
Conclusion: Mechanical lung ventilation allows to cure cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Weaning from mechanical lung ventilation without following the criteria rules to repeated ventilation and increasing mortality.
