Clinical features Abnormal vasculogenesis and angiogenesis and releasing of antiangiogenic factors results in Vasospasm Endothelial dysfunction Etiology of various clinical signs and symptoms
So, Preeclampsia usually develops Abnormal placentation Endothelial dysfunction
Clinical diagnosis of Preeclampsi a ACOG Task Force on Hypertension in Pregnancy
Classification of Preeclampsia 1. Preeclampsia-eclampsia 2. Chronic hypertension 3. Chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia 4. Gestational hypertension
Preeclampsia-eclampsia 2013 PROTEINURIA Not always necessary HYPERTENSION OR SEVERE FEATURES **edema, IUGR, oligohydramnios, 24 hour proteinuria > 5 gms/day
Systolic BP 140 Diastolic BP 90 (4 hours apart) HYPERTENSION
24 hours 300 mg Urine dipstick 1+ PROTEINURIA
SEVERE FEATURES Severe hypertension ( 160/110 mmhg) Low platelet count (< 100,000/cu.mm.) Abnormal liver function (Increase AST/ALT 2 folds or RUQ pain) Abnormal renal function (Cr > 1.1 mg/dl or 2 folds of baseline level) Pulmonary edema Symptoms of nervous system and vision CBC with platelet, AST, ALT, LDH, Creatinine, Bilirubin, Uric acid
Mild preeclampsia Preeclampsia without severe features Severe preeclampsia Preeclampsia with severe features
ECLAMPSIA
during pregnan cy 38-55%
during labor 18-36%
11-44% POSTPARTUM MOSTLY WITHIN 48 HOURS
Can Preeclampsia-eclampsia be prevented?
ASPIRIN Low dose aspirin (60-80 mg) for high risk group beginning in the late first trimester
ASPIRIN High risk group Previous preeclampsia, diabetes, hypertension, renal disease, autoimmune disease, multiple pregnancy
Preeclampsia-eclampsia Principle of management
Preeclampsia-eclampsia 1. Controlling or prevention of eclampsia 2. Lowering blood pressure 3. Adequate hydration 4. Termination of pregnancy
1 MgSO 4 Preeclampsia with severe features Eclampsia
1 MgSO 4 Dosage : 20% MgSO4 2-6 gram IV loading dose in 10-15 min, then 50% MgSO4 40 gram + 5%DW 920 ml IV drip 2 gram (50 ml)/hr Therapeutic level : 4.8-8.4 mg/dl Monitor : urine output, reflex, respiratory rate, blood pressure Antidote : 10% Calcium gluconate 10 ml (1gram) IV

2 Special precaution Do not prescribe diazepam (valium ) in case of preeclampsia-eclampsia Unless status epilepticus was observed
3 Limited IV access
4 Termination as soon as possible Preeclampsia without severe features 37 weeks gestation Preeclampsia with severe features at least 34 weeks gestation
4 Termination as soon as possible Expectant management should be considered If GA >24 to < 34 weeks gestation and available NICU Corticosteroids are recommended if GA < 34 weeks gestation
4 Termination as soon as possible Delivery after completion of 4 doses of corticosteroids - PPROM - Labour - Platelet < 100,000 - Abnormal LFT - Renal dysfunction - Fetal growth restriction - Severe oligohydramnios - Abnormal doppler study - reversed end diastolic flow (umbilical a)
4 Termination as soon as possible Prompt delivery after maternal stabilization regardless of GA if - uncontrolled BP - eclampsia - pulmonary edema - abruptio placentae - disseminated intravascular coagulation - evidence of nonreassuring fetal status - intrapartum fetal demise
Postpartum surveillance - Treatment if BP 150/100 mmhg (4-6 hrs apart) - Prompt treatment if BP 160/110 mmhg
Postpartum surveillance - BP monitoring for 72 hrs - BP follow up 7-10 days postpartum
