Edema agudo de pulmón y tratamiento secuencial con nifedipino y ritodrina en la amenaza de parto pretérmino

We report the case of a pregnant woman with threatened premature labor who developed acute pulmonary edema after treatment with nifedipine with inadequate response and subsequent treatment with ritodrine. The intravenous fluids, corticosteroid treatment and the sequential use of both drugs may have contributed to the development of the pulmonary edema. Maternal and fetal outcomes were satisfactory.
