Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Chest imaging may reveal a peripheral distribution of bilateral infiltrates with no evidence of excessive pulmonary vasculature congestion or cardiomegaly. An echocardiogram may also be used to confirm a lack of acute systolic or diastolic dysfunction. These findings suggest a noncardiogenic source.
Detailed explanation-2: -Pulmonary edema that is not caused by increased pressures in the heart is called noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Causes of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema include: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This serious disorder occurs when the lungs suddenly fill with fluid.
