Although acute dyspnea during pregnancy and the immediate postpartum period is uncommon, it should alert the attending health professional to several important conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 23-year-old female patient with Gravida 2 and Para 1 mother presented with acute shortness of breath approximately 1 h after delivery by an emergency cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. Immediately after transferring to the recovery room, her vital signs were Bp, 80\/56 mmHg, HR = 64BPM, RR, 18, and oxygen saturation of 95 % while she breathed with room air. Immediately after 1 h, the patient reported a history of mild cough that progressed to severe shortness of breath and chest heaviness while she was lying supine.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Acute pulmonary edema is an infrequent cause of postpartum and pregnancy-related respiratory failure. This potentially fatal condition is characterized by noncompliant or \u201cstiff\u201d lungs and insufficient oxygenation. This condition is linked to widespread alveolar damage and capillary endothelial injury.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pregnancy-related pulmonary edema, which may occur with or without pre-eclampsia and may happen with a medication adverse effect, is a serious emergency that has a high death rate if left untreated. Appropriate treatment and early screening may improve patient outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2025.110991","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,29]],"date-time":"2025-01-29T16:48:07Z","timestamp":1738169287000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A case report on acute pulmonary edema induced by adverse drug event immediately after cesarean section"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"128","author":[{"given":"Getachew Mekete","family":"Diress","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia, College of Health Sciences, School of Medicine, Debre Tabor University, Debre Tabor, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdurehman Seid","family":"Mohammed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health: Saint Peter Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mustofa Hassen","family":"Yesuf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Saint Peter Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zewdu","family":"Minda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia, Saint Peter Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"R1-26-20260325","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"249","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pcad.2009.10.002","article-title":"Flash pulmonary edema","volume":"52","author":"Rimoldi,","year":"2009","journal-title":"Prog.
