Listen to the introduction

Abstract

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a well-established intervention for acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE), improving oxygenation and reducing the need for intubation. We present a case of an elderly patient with hypertensive emergency complicated by ACPE, managed successfully with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) without progression to invasive ventilation. This case highlights the importance of early recognition, appropriate mode selection, and integration of guideline-directed medical therapy in the acute phase.
