OUTLINE:
Diagnostic Criteria for Pre-eclampsia
BP > 140/90, on at least 2 measurements, 4 hours apart, at or beyond 20 wks AoG, with previously normotensive woman
BP > 160/110
+
Proteinuria
300 mg in 24 hour urine collection
Protein/creatinine ratio > 0.3
+1 on dipstick
OR
Thrombocytopenia Renal insufficiency Liver dysfunction Pulmonary edema Cerebral or visual symptoms
ENUMERATE:
Severe features of pre-eclampsia
Thrombocytopenia (<100,000)
Renal insufficiency (>1.1 mg /dL serum creatinine)
Elevated liver enzymes (2-3 times elevated)
Persistent RUQ pain
Pulmonary edema
Cerebral or visual symptoms
ENUMERATE/OUTLINE:
Mechanisms of Pre-eclampsia
- Abnormal trophoblastic invasion, leading to endothelial activation and vessel leakage, eventually leading to poor end-organ perfusion and damage
- Maternal hypersensitivity to paternal antigens
- Genetic predisposition
DEFINE:
Eclampsia
Development of generalized seizures
with no other attributable cause
in woman with pre-eclampsia
ENUMERATE:
Objectives of Eclampsia Management
- Control BP
- Control seizures
- Correct hypoxia and acidosis
- Delivery of fetus
DESCRIBE:
How to give MgSO4 for seizure prophylaxis/prevention
IV
Loading: 4-6 g IV in 100 mL, over 20 minutes
Maintenance: 2 g/hr in 100 mL solution
IM:
4g as 20% solution, at rate of 1g/min
10g of 50% solution, injected 5 g at each buttock (upper-outer)
Thereafter
5g of 50% solution on alternate buttocks, after every 4 hours
Discontinue MgSO4 24 hrs after delivery
