Pulmonary edema refers to the accumulation of fluid in the lungs, which can interfere with the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the blood. This can result in an increase in shunted blood, meaning that some blood may not be completely oxygenated due to the fluid-filled alveoli. Exercise, increased heart rate, and increased respiration rate all typically result in improved oxygenation of the blood.
