The management of acute pulmonary edema remains an interesting challenge to the clinician. The early recognition of this frequent condition, based on clinical features, must lead to the institution of general measures of therapy that can save most patients; a delay or mistake in this early treatment is lethal. The subsequent treatment depends on the characterization of the etiology and the pathophysiological characteristics of each case. The authors present a review of the management of acute pulmonary edema for the general practitioner, which includes the general first line measures and also mention some therapeutic approaches, related to different etiologies, namely those requiring intensive care units.
急性肺水肿的处理对临床医生而言仍是一项饶有趣味的挑战。基于临床特征对这一常见病症的早期识别，必须促使采取能挽救大多数患者的一般治疗措施；早期治疗的延误或失误是致命的。后续治疗则取决于病因的特征以及每个病例的病理生理特点。作者为全科医生提供了一篇关于急性肺水肿处理的综述，其中包括一般的一线措施，还提及了一些针对不同病因的治疗方法，即那些需要重症监护病房治疗的情况。
