Dr. Hudgens et Se. Conradi, SUDDEN-DEATH ASSOCIATED WITH TERBUTALINE SULFATE ADMINISTRATION, American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 169(1), 1993, pp. 120-121
We present a case of sudden maternal death occurring during the ambula
tory treatment of preterm labor in a twin pregnancy. The ultimate caus
e of death was cardiac arrhythmia, the origin of which was probably mu
ltifactorial. The patient was being treated with the use of a subcutan
eous terbutaline sulfate infusion pump.
