Objectives: We report a case of acute pulmonary edema following intravenous ketamine administration during cesarean section. Case Report: A 35 years old 65kg woman pregnant at the 38th week presented with a breech presentation and premature rupture of the membrane. An emergency cesarean section was performed under spinal anesthesia using 10mg of bupivacaine. During the operation, 75mg of ketamine was given intravenously as an adjunct to enhance pain suppression. About 10 minutes later, respiratory distress occurred. There was no evidence of airway obstruction. After intubation, pink frothy sputum emerged from the endotracheal tube. She was managed with T-piece breathing in the intensive care unit and was extubated on the next day. The mechanism causing the pulmonary edema may have involve ketamine related pulmonary vascular hypertension, myocardial depression or lung fluid clearance inhibition. Conclusions: Intravenous ketamine may induce acute pulmonary edema in a pregnant woman during cesarean section.
