In another case-control study, pregnancy had little effect on patients with stable CF, although poor outcomes were seen in those with severe disease. Pregnancy increases the risk of complications of pneumonia including respiratory failure, and the mortality is higher. Pregnant women are at an increased risk for pulmonary edema due to the hypervolemia and high cardiac output of pregnancy, the occasional need for tocolytic drugs that affect the vascular bed, and some clinical conditions unique to pregnancy. Pregnant patients are predisposed to thromboembolic disease for several reasons including (1) an increase in several coagulation factors and a decrease in fibrinolytic activity, leading to a hypercoagulable state, (2) venous stasis caused by uterine compression of the inferior vena cava and the left iliac vein, and (3) trauma to pelvic veins at the time of delivery. ./cache/cord-017105-mljywm9p.txt ./txt/cord-017105-mljywm9p.txt
