Some Aspects of Acute Pulmonary Edema with Special Reference to Pulmonary Hemodynamics

Abstract

PULMONARY edema has been produced by various agents and methods in experimental animals. Of particular importance to hemodynamic research is the consistent production of an acute pulmonary edema in a fairly large animal which will facilitate necessary determinations. The present report attempts to elucidate some hemodynamic aspects and importance of blood pressure regulation in the development of acute pulmonary edema in the dog.
