Warrants close respiratory monitoring with magnesium tocolysis; single case leaves incidence and prevention open.
Acute pulmonary edema affects 0.08% to 1.5% of women during pregnancy and during the postpartum period, and preeclampsia/eclampsia is a major obstetric cause of acute pulmonary edema.We present a case of a 23-year-old nulliparous woman who was referred to tertiary medical center for preterm labor and dyspnea(Mousavi Hospital).The patient complained of having suddenly developed respiratory distress and a decrease in O2 saturation following the administration of magnesium sulfate.A chest radiograph taken at bedside showed widespread interstitial shadowing consistent with pulmonary edema.The patient was given prompt treatment, and she achieved full recovery.Pharmacological agents are one of the defendants used for lung edema during pregnancy.It is important to pay attention to lung edema due to tocolytic administration.

Zeraati et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Preterm labor and acute pulmonary edema (n=1). Magnesium sulfate was evaluated on Acute pulmonary edema. Administration of magnesium sulfate in a 23-year-old pregnant woman with preterm labor resulted in acute pulmonary edema, which resolved with prompt treatment.
