Abstract
We encountered a patient with pre-eclampsia who developed pulmonary ed ema whilst receiving an infusion of sulprostone. Recent evidence sugge sts that pulmonary hypertension following the administration of prosta glandins may result from stimulation of an EP3 or thromboxane receptor in the pulmonary artery, This has implications for therapeutic use of prostaglandins.
