Pulmonary oedema is the accumulation of excess fluid in the lung interstitium and alveoli, impairing gas exchange and causing respiratory distress. It is clinically significant as it can rapidly lead to hypoxia and respiratory failure if untreated. Commonly associated with left ventricular failure, it requires prompt diagnosis and management to prevent morbidity and mortality.
