Respiratory Diseases of Pregnancy	2019-07-24		.txt	text/plain	2515	163	43	Pregnant patients can suffer from the same respiratory diseases as the general population in addition to unique syndromes of pregnancy (such as pre-eclampsia and tocolytic induced pulmonary edema, and pregnancy induced cardiomyopathy). Low pulmonary reserves that arise from reductions in functional residual capacity (caused by the gravid uterus and changes in the chest wall morphology) [1] and increased oxygen consumption make pregnant women develop hypoxemia more rapidly during apnea [4] . The most common causes of non-cardiogenic acute pulmonary edema in pregnancy are, fluid overload, preeclampsia, tocolytic agents, sepsis, trauma or following aspiration of gastric contents [6, 7] . A partial pressure of carbon dioxide within the normal range of 36-40 on an arterial blood gas can be an early sign of imminent respiratory failure in the gravid patient. Some of the risk factors for pneumonia in pregnancy include anemia, asthma, antepartum corticosteroids given to enhance fetal lung maturity, and the use of tocolytic agents to induce labor [27] .	./cache/cord-017581-6lubp7io.txt	./txt/cord-017581-6lubp7io.txt
