Does anyone have a protocol for treating flash pulmonary edema in the home that they would be willing to share?

Hi,

Important question. I've asked around some home care organizations and have not found any set protocols. I think most are cautious about protocols for this because of the need for careful, specific individual clinical assessment and follow up.

However, I do encourage any folks out there with a protocol to share your experience.

Best,
