What Does Foaming At The Mouth And Nose Mean After A Heart Attack?
My mom had a heart attact we think two weeks ago and passed away at the house befor they could get her to the hospital.
When the care giver found her she was awake and still alive, she layes her on the floor and called 911 and started CPR she said she was foaming at the mouth and nose what does that mean ?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to your query if the patient is in gasping stage then it is all the formation of edematous fluids accumulate in the lungs and this comes out in foamy form at the time of gasping hope this information helps you take care and have a nice day
