Multidisciplinary management with non-invasive ventilation and emergency C-section resolves massive pulmonary edema in severe preeclampsia.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Multidisciplinary perioperative management including CPAP, medical therapy, and spinal anesthesia can be safely used for emergency cesarean section in pregnant patients with severe preeclampsia and massive pulmonary edema.
May support spinal anesthesia with NIV in severe preeclamptic edema; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation before practice change.
Pulmonary edema refers to accumulation of an excessive fluid in the pulmonary interstitial and alveolar spaces. It is one of the foremost serious complications of preeclampsia that should be early diagnosed in case of severe dyspnea, respiratory distress in a pregnant woman, especially in presence of preeclampsia. It is one of the most important indications of urgent pregnancy-termination.

Ahmed Maher Ibrahim Hashey (2023) conducted a case report in Severe Preeclampsia with Massive Pulmonary Edema (n=1). Multidisciplinary management (CPAP, antihypertensives, emergency cesarean section under spinal anesthesia) was evaluated on Resolution of pulmonary edema and successful delivery. Multidisciplinary perioperative management including non-invasive ventilation, antihypertensives, and emergency cesarean section under spinal anesthesia successfully resolved massive pulmonary edema in a pregnant patient with severe preeclampsia.
