Norwitz, 2013
§ A 40 year-old African American G2P1001 presents to labor and delivery at 34+1 weeks with nausea and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. She denies any vaginal bleeding, rupture of membranes, or contractions. Her prenatal course is complicated by a history of preeclampsia in her previous pregnancy which resulted in induction of labor at 37wks. On physical exam she appears moderately uncomfortable. Her blood pressure is 155/100.
§ Which of the following risk factors has the highest relative risk for the development of preeclampsia?
§ Advanced maternal age
§ Previous history of preeclampsia
§ Chronic hypertension
Case Question
Risk Factors
§ Previous history of pre-eclampsia (RR 7.19)
§ Antiphospholipid antibodies (RR 9.72)
§ Pre-existing diabetes (RR 3.56)
§ Twin pregnancy

§ Nulliparity (RR 2.91)
§ Family history of preeclampsia (RR 2.90)
§ Obesity (RR 2.47)
§ Maternal age ≥ 40 (RR 1.96)

Prevention
US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendations
Management
§ Preterm diagnosis § Daily movement counts
§ 2x/wk blood pressure monitoring
§ Weekly labs
§ Serial US for growth
§ Delivery at 37wks unless indicated earlier
§ Inpatient or Outpatient management?
Mild Preeclampsia
§ The patient continues to complain of RUQ pain accompanied by nausea and a new onset headache. Her blood pressures increase to 170/110 and you treat her with a single dose of 20mg Labetalol IV. Her laboratory evaluation returns and results are:
§ Hgb 11.2 / Hct 33 /Plt 90k,
§ AST 97, ALT 110 / Cr 1.0,
§ Urine protein/creatinine ratio 0.2
§ Based on the laboratory evaluation and symptoms, which of the following is TRUE?
§ The patient does not have preeclampsia as there is not evidence of significant proteinuria
§ The most likely diagnosis for this patient is gestational thrombocytopenia
§ The patient has severe preeclampsia and should be delivered
Case Question
§ Administer Steroids and Expectant Management
§ Administer Steroids and then move to delivery in 48 hours
§ Immediate Delivery
Treatment Options
Key Points – Severe Preeclampsia
§ Up to 40% of patients with severe preeclampsia at less than 34wks gestation may be candidates for expectant management
§ Eclampsia is a contraindication to expectant management, regardless of gestational age Magee 2009
Expectant Management
§ Maternal hemodynamic instability
§ Non-reassuring fetal testing (abnormal dopplers/oligohydramnios)
§ Severe hypertension unresponsive to medical Rx
§ Severe headache/Visual disturbances
§ Eclampsia
§ Pulmonary edema
§ Renal failure
§ Placental abruption
§ HELLP
§ PPROM
§ Diagnosis prior to viability
§ Gestational age >34+0 weeks
Contraindications
§ Hospitalize until delivery
§ May discontinue Magnesium Sulfate after 48 hours and steroid course complete
§ Monitor blood pressure every 4 hours
§ Monitor & record fluid intake/output
§ Frequently assess maternal symptoms § HA/visual changes/epigastric pain
Expectant Management
§ Preeclampsia labs at least 2x/week § CBC/AST/ALT/Creatinine/Electrolytes
§ Fetal assessment § Daily NST
§ AFI 2x/week
§ Dopplers at least weekly if IUGR
§ Consult neonatology/ anesthesiology
Expectant Management
Delay Delivery for 48 hours § At 33+6 weeks or less, administer corticosteroids and DELAY
DELIVERY for 48 hours if mother/fetus stable and any of the following present:
§ PPROM
§ Preterm labor
§ Low platelet count (< 100k)
§ Persistently elevated hepatic enzymes >2x normal
§ Fetal growth restriction < 5%
§ Severe oligohydramnios (AFI < 5)
§ Reversed end-diastolic flow of umbilical arteries
§ New onset renal dysfunction
HTN workgroup – 2013 Quality of evidence : Moderate Strength of recommendation: Qualified
Immediate Delivery § At 33+6 weeks or less, administer corticosteroids but
DO NOT DELAY delivery if any of the following present
§ Uncontrollable severe hypertension
§ Eclampsia
§ Pulmonary edema
§ Placental abruption
§ Disseminated intravascular coagulation
§ Non-reassuring fetal status
§ Intrapartum fetal demise HTN workgroup – 2013 Quality of evidence : Moderate Strength of recommendation: Strong
Delivery § Induction is reasonable if
§ Favorable cervix (regardless of GA)
§ Gestational age of at least 32 weeks
(Seal, 2012)
§ Delivery must be accomplished, but is NOT emergent after eclamptic seizure unless: § non-reassuring fetal status after recovery from
seizure
§ other concerns, such as abruption
Intrapartum/Postpartum § Magnesium sulfate seizure prophylaxis after diagnosis
and for at least 24 hours after delivery § Continue intraoperative administration if cesarean section
performed
§ Continue to monitor blood pressure and treat severe range hypertension
§ Monitor laboratory abnormalities
§ Ensure diuresis and watch for evidence magnesium toxicity
§ Monitor BP for at least 72hrs after delivery and then again 7-10 days postpartum
Delivery Recommendations
ACOG Committee Opinion # 560
§ After you have counseled the patient for delivery, you go back to the work station to write a note.
§ Five minutes later, you are called emergently to the bedside as the patient started having tonic-clonic seizure activity associated with worsening hypertension. There is evidence of recurrent late decelerations on the FHR monitor.
§ What is the most appropriate initial intervention?
§ Administer 6 grams of magnesium sulfate IV over 2 minutes
§ Proceed with emergent cesarean delivery
§ Administer 6 grams of magnesium sulfate IV over 15-20 minutes
§ Administer 5mg diazepam IV
Case Question
Timing of Eclampsia
§ Antepartum (38-55%)
§ Intrapartum (36%)
§ Postpartum
§ < 48 hours = 5-39%
§ > 48 hours = 5-17% Norwitz, 2013
Eclampsia - Notes § The seizure may last up to 4 minutes
§ The FHRT will demonstrate significant decelerations
§ Continue to monitor and consider urgent delivery if no resolution approximately 10 minutes AFTER the seizure
§ Treatment with magnesium sulfate afterwards prevents recurrent seizures and decreases maternal mortality
§ Treat hypertension aggressively as 15-20% of death from eclampsia related to strokes
Norwitz 2013
Eclampsia Checklist § Clearly communicate diagnosis to team members
§ Position patient § Left lateral decubitus
§ Raise bed rails/keep patient in safe position
§ Call for additional assistance § Physician/Nursing/Anesthesia/Pediatrics
§ Maternal Care § Provide O2 by facemask
§ Obtain IV access
§ Treat severe hypertension (> 160/110) with IV medication
§ Fetal Care § Continuous toco/FHRT (expect decels)
§ Magnesium Sulfate § 6 grams IV over 15-20 minutes OR 10 grams IM (5 gram in each buttock)
Treatment of Hypertension
§ During her eclamptic seizure, the patient's blood pressure reading is 180/110.
§ Which is the most appropriate next step to address her severe hypertension?
§ Do not treat for this blood pressure and wait 15 minutes to repeat and determine if medications are necessary
§ Administer 80mg Labetalol IV
§ Administer 10mg Furosemide IV
§ Administer 10mg Hydralazine IV
Case Question
§ Urgent treatment for § Severe systolic (>= 160mmHg) or diastolic (>=
110 mmHg)
§ Untreated severe HTN places patient at significant risk for § Cerebral hemorrhage
§ Maternal death
§ IV Labetalol or Hydralazine are first line treatment
ACOG Committee Opinion #514

Summary
Summary § Severe preeclampsia affects multiple symptoms and
is a progressive disease
§ Eclampsia is an uncommon but serious obstetric emergency that requires prompt intervention to ensure optimal outcomes
§ New guidelines for evaluation and treatment of hypertension in pregnancy are important to understand and put into practice
§ Diagnosis of severe preeclampsia no longer requires evidence of proteinuria
Summary § Pay attention to severe range hypertension
and treat early
§ Monitor closely for development of magnesium toxicity, especially in the presence of renal insufficiency
§ Prompt treatment of hypertension is critical
§ Remember severe preeclampsia/eclampsia can also occur after delivery
