Risk Factors
English Maternal lung edema due to the use of beta-mimetic tocolytic agents is a well-documented complication. The risk increases if several other factors are present: infectious diseases, the use of inhaled anesthetics, EPH gestosis, hydramnios, twin gestation and preexisting cardiovascular disease. The complications induced by beta-mimetic tocolytic agents can be reduced by remembering their side effects and contraindications and restricting fluid intake. During obstetric general anesthesia in patients undergoing tocolysis, the infusion of large amounts of saline, as is widely practised today, is strictly contraindicated.
