- There’s minimal or no role for the administration of loop diuretics early in the management of APE. The majority of patients aren’t volume overloaded.
- Immediate care should focus on NIPPV and administration of nitroglycerin.
- In patients with ESRD, dialysis is what’s ultimately going to fix the patient."
