Oxytocin-Induced Acute Pulmonary Edema: A Case Report and Literature Review

The use of intravenous (IV) oxytocin has been commonly associated with the development of nausea, vomiting, headache, flushing, and hypotension.

description The use of intravenous (IV) oxytocin has been commonly associated with the development of nausea, vomiting, headache, flushing, and hypotension. To date, only a few previously published studies have linked the administration of IV oxytocin, in high doses exceeding 15 mU/min, with the development of acute pulmonary edema. In this article, we aim to report the rare occurrence of acute pulmonary edema following administration of IV oxytocin at a small dose of 2 mU/min, in a 20-year-old pregnant female, to allow its recognition and prompt treatment by the clinician caring for the patient.
