Yeah its weird but not entirely incorrect saying morphine is given for pulmonary edema. But definitely as said above LASIX! Also NITROGLYCERINE!

-flurosemide
-nitroglycerin,nitroprusside
-aminophylline

Morphine shud be avoided in Narcotic induced Pulmonary edema.....b/c it is PCO2....hyperventilation.....so use narcotic antagonists.....

Pulmonary Edema is of two types
- Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
- Non cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ARDS)
Both have different managements.Morphin is definitely indicated in Cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
The patient is markedly dyspenic due to stimulation of J-receptors ,morphin
- Reduces appreshension of the patient
- Causes venodilation and preload leading to reduction in pulmonary edema (cardiogenic)
Best of luck
