Could i need cpap if i have pulmonary edema?

Yes: Pulmonary edema caused by congestive heart failure gets better quicker with cpap. In other cases it is used to minimize the need for life support with a breathing tube.

!: If you have pulmonary edema, you have a potentially life threatening condition that needs complete evaluation and treatment. Don't try this at home on your own!
