_________________________ pull fluid into the vascular space by osmosis,resulting in an increased vascular volume that possibly will result in pulmonary edema.

Pulmonary Edema

A condition where fluid accumulates in the lungs, making it difficult to breathe and adequately oxygenate the blood.

Vascular Volume

The total volume of blood contained within the body's network of blood vessels, crucial for maintaining blood pressure and adequate tissue perfusion.

Osmosis

The movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

  • Understand the osmotic effects of different fluid solutions on vascular volume.

Final Answer :
Hypertonic solutions
Hypertonic solutions pull fluid into the vascular space by osmosis,resulting in an increased vascular volume that possibly will result in pulmonary edema.
