CT reports shows he has features of pulmonary edema. First thing we need to know is whether it is due to cardiac failure or kidney failure. If it is cardiac failure. We need to know his Ejection fraction( pulmoping capacity) of heart. We can optimise medications with cardiologist opinion. If it is due to cardiac failure, you should ask the patient on complete bed rest and fluid restrictions too.
