After the occurrence of pulmonary edema, it is necessary to explore methods to improve ventilation and pulmonary function. If the pulmonary edema is very severe and hypoxia is also severe, the oxygen concentration can be increased. Reducing pulmonary capillary permeability is essential to achieve effective treatment, alleviate patient symptoms, and prevent serious complications that could endanger the patient's life.
