A client is admitted to the intensive care unit with pulmonary edema. The clinical finding the nurse would expect when performing the admission assessment is Crackles at base of each lung.
A disease known as pulmonary edema is brought on by an excess of fluid in the lungs. Breathing becomes challenging because of the fluid buildup in the lungs' many air sacs. Heart issues are typically the root cause of pulmonary edema. But there are other causes for fluid to build up in the lungs.
Air moving through fluid in the alveolar gaps causes crackles to occur. Fluid enters the alveoli during pulmonary edema from the intravascular compartment. The pulse is racing when there is hypervolemia. Hypervolemia causes a rise in blood pressure. Angina or a myocardial infarction will cause radiating anterior chest pain.
