If a has cardiomegaly and lungs filled with fluid then is suction of fluid possible?

Better ways: The condition you described is due to congestive heart failure, which is due to decreased the efficacy of heart a pumping device which causes fluid to back flow to lung. Then treatment is to support heart such as using acei, and beta blockers at some point. Meanwhile we can decrease the heart's load by using diuretics and get rid of extra fluid from the system. Also will restrict fluid and salt.

No: But fluid can be removed by lowering salt in diet and using diuretics and other meds to help the heart pump more optimally.
