Abstract
Lung edema implies an enhanced passage of water from the intravascular space to the extravascular space. By definition, it is an excess of fluid in the lung. The endothelial lesion present in noncardiogenic edema produces an enhanced capillary permeability to water and proteins. A rise in pressure at the level of the lung capillary will increase the hydrostatic pressure difference between the capillary and the interstice, resulting in cardiogenic or hemodynamic lung edema [1–3].
