abstract: Knowledge of the physiologic changes, conditions, and therapies of pregnancy that increase the risk of pulmonary edema enables nurses to influence the outcome of their patients who develop medical complications while undergoing tocolytic therapy. Cooperation between perinatal and critical care nurses ensures optimal care of both the mother and the fetus.
