Abstract
We present a case of sudden maternal death occurring during the ambulatory treatment of preterm labor in a twin pregnancy. The ultimate cause of death was cardiac arrhythmia, the origin of which was probably multifactorial. The patient was being treated with the use of a subcutaneous terbutaline sulfate infusion pump.
