Pulmonary edema is characterized by the movement of excess fluid into the alveoli of the lungs.  Although the alterations of cardiovascular and pulmonary physiology in pregnancy may predispose patients to pulmonary edema, it is never normal and constitutes severe maternal morbidity.  The etiologies of pulmonary edema are diverse, ranging from disease processes independent of pregnancy to pathophysiology unique to the gravid state.  The causes of pulmonary edema can be broadly classified as either cardiogenic or noncardiogenic, which constitutes the first important branch point in the diagnosis and management of the disease.  The treatment of pulmonary edema in pregnancy parallels that in the nonpregnant population with an emphasis on maintaining the physiologic alterations of pregnancy through supportive care, including mechanical ventilation if needed.  In all cases of pulmonary edema, the decision to proceed with delivery to improve the maternal status should be considered within the context of the etiology and anticipated disease course, the gestational age, and the goals of care. This review contains  3 figures, 4 tables, and 60 references. Key Words:  Pulmonary edema, respiratory alkalosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), cardiogenic pulmonary edema, transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO), mechanical ventilation, extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

There is an urgent need to better understand the micronutrient demands of pregnancy due to the complex physiological adaptations during the gestational period and the importance of micronutrients in maternal-fetal health. However, the rigorous study of micronutrients in pregnancy is significantly lacking due to a number of issues including the exclusion of pregnant people in research, methodological barriers to studying micronutrients, and the multidisciplinary expertise required for such studies. Stable isotopes present a unique methodological opportunity to quantify pregnancy-related changes in the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of micronutrients. However, we demonstrate here through a rapid review of the published literature that this approach is dramatically underutilized outside of calcium. In this perspective we discuss the use of stable isotopes to study micronutrient physiology and our experiences in addressing the need for more studies in this area. Lastly, we discuss how we might overcome major barriers to move towards a better understanding of micronutrient physiology in pregnancy.
