[Pulmonary edema during terbutaline infusion against threatened premature labor].
A case of pulmonary oedema during tocolytic therapy with terbutaline infusion is reported. Although a cardiogenic cause for this type of pulmonary oedema has never been proven, it is believed that physiologic changes in pregnancy aggravated by beta-2 stimulation together with fluid overload constitute the pathophysiologic background to this serious complication.
