[Acute pulmonary edema and tocolytic therapy in pregnant women : clinical case and review of literature]
Abstract
We report the case of a pregnant woman, treated by nifedipine and next by atosiban for premature labour, who develop an acute pulmonary edema. The severity of symptoms and hypoxemia lead the patient to a cesarean and next to the intensive care hospitalization. This clinical case allow us to make a review of literature and reminds us the differential diagnosis to look for during an acute dyspnea in a pregnant woman and the treatment of acute pulmonary edema in these circumstances. The pathophysiological mechanisms which are at the origins of this condition and the implication of the tocolytic treatment will also be discussed.
Nous rapportons le cas d’une patiente traitée par nifédipine puis par atosiban pour une menace d’accouchement prématuré qui développe un œdème aigu du poumon non cardiogénique. La gravité des symptômes et de l’hypoxémie ont mené à une césarienne en urgence et une hospitalisation aux soins intensifs. Ce cas clinique nous permet de faire une revue de littérature et d’aborder les différents diagnostics différentiels à évoquer et rechercher face à une dyspnée aiguë survenant chez une femme enceinte et la prise en charge d’un œdème pulmonaire aigu dans de telles circonstances. Les mécanismes physiopathologiques qui sont à l’origine de cette affection et l’implication du traitement tocolytique seront également discutés.
