Leg static pressure values in pregnant women with iatrogenic pulmonary edema.
In two pregnant women with iatrogenic pulmonary edema, impedance plythsmographic measurements indicated low values for maternal cardiac output and venous resistance (or static pressure). Decreased venous tone could account for the pulmonary edema.
