Preeclampsia

Severe
Preeclampsia

Eclampsia

Slide 3 of 18
Epidemiology
HTN disorders
complicates 5-10% of
all pregnancies

Preeclampsia
complicates 3-9% of
pregnancies in
developed countries

Accountable for 1015% of maternal
death in developed
countries

Slide 6 of 18
Preeclampsia
Disease of Multiple Theories
Unknown
Etiology

Lack of
animal model

Challenges in Prevention, Screening, Diagnosis, Treatment

Roberts JM. If we know so much about preeclampsia, why haven’t we cured the disease? J Reprod
Immuol. 2013 Sep;99(1-2):1-9. PMID 23890710.

SUMC | Nikita Joshi, MD (njoshi8@gmail.com)

Slide 7 of 18
Current Theory
Abnormal Placentation
Fetal Cytotrophoblasts
fail to adopt invasive
endothelial phenotype

Invasion of spiral
arteries is shallow

Remain small-caliber
resistance vessels

Slide 8 of 18
Pathophysiology
Abnormal Placentation

Vasoconstriction
Activation of coagulation cascade
Loss of fluid from intravascular
space

SUMC | Nikita Joshi, MD (njoshi8@gmail.com)

Endothelial Dysfunction

Decreased organ perfusion
Inflammation
Hemorrhage
Ischemia

Slide 9 of 18
End Organ Consequence

Kidney
Glomerular
capillary
endotheliosis and
vasospasm reduce
GFR

Cranial
Vasospasm leading
to
headache, seizures,
CVA

Vision
Retina artery
constriction,visual
changes

Cardiopulm
Capillary leakage
leading to
nondependent
edema, pulm
edema

SUMC | Nikita Joshi, MD (njoshi8@gmail.com)

Liver
reduced hepatic
blood flow leads to
ischemia and
periportal
hemorrhage

Heme
Platelet level
proportional to
severity of disease

Placenta
Placental abruption

Fetus
Growth
restriction, oligoh
ydramnios

Slide 10 of 18
Medical Management
BP Control
Magnesium
Intubation
Delivery

SUMC | Nikita Joshi, MD (njoshi8@gmail.com)

Slide 11 of 18
Hypertensive Therapy

Labetalol
Beta > Alpha Blocker
Vasodilation
10-20 mg IVP
1-2 mg/min up to 300 mg

SUMC | Nikita Joshi, MD (njoshi8@gmail.com)

Hydralazine
Vascular smooth muscle
relaxer
5 mg IVP
0.5-10 mg/hr

Slide 12 of 18
Evidence Review
Cochrane Review 2013
35 Randomized Control Trials
3573 Women included

Not enough evidence to show which drug is most effective

Prevention &
Treatment of
Seizures

SUMC | Nikita Joshi, MD (njoshi8@gmail.com)

Fetal neural
protection for
preterm
delivery

Short-term
prolongation
of pregnancy
(48 hrs)

Slide 15 of 18
Mechanism of Action
Vasculature
Ca2+ Antagonist
Smooth muscle
relaxation
Vasodilation
Relieve vasospam
Decreased vascular
resistance

Cerebral Endothelium
Ca Antagonist
Decrease stress fiber
contraction
Decrease paracellular
BBB permeability
Limits cerebral edema

Anticonvulsant
NMDA Antagonist
Decreases effect of
glutamate
Limits neuronal
depolarization
Increases seizure
threshold

  1. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are significant contributors to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortalityPreeclampsia and Eclampsia are disease processes that will be encountered in the ED.Hypertension is a common occurrence in pregnancy. As an EM physician it is important to develop understanding of the emergencies that can arise from the development of preeclampsia and eclampsia. In order to develop an approach to diagnosis, stabilization, treatment, and medical management of preeclampsia and eclampsia, the diagnostic criteria and end organ consequences will be discussed.
  2. How to assess for Proteinuria:Spot protein: creatinine ratio (>30 mg/mmol)24 hr urine collection (>300 mg protein)Chronic HTN: preexisting HTN 140/90Gestational HTN: new HTN after 20 wks gestation without proteinuria 140/90Preeclampsia: new HTN after 20 wks AND proteinuria (>300 mg protein in 24 hrs)Severe preeclampsia: preeclampsia with severe HTN 160/110OR protein <1gramOR end organ diseaseCan have nonspecific complaints like headaches, vision changes, nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, edemaEclampsia: generalized tonic clonic seizures in the absence of known neurologic disease
  3. 10-15% of maternal deaths are associated with preeclampsia and eclampsiaUp to 10% of women have elevated BP during pregnancy – Duley 20093-8% of women in developed countries will get preeclampsia- Carty 20100.56/1000 births are complicated by eclampsia10-15% maternal deaths are directly associated with preeclampsia and eclampsia

  5. Risk Factors: Nulliparity, FH Pre-eclampsia, Advanced Maternal Age, ObesityPrior disease - HTN, DM, ESRD, Antiphospholipid SyndBaby: twin/molar pregnancyThere is a 20 fold relative risk of mortality for women with preeclampsia prior to 32 wks gestationNew research showing long term consequence of HTN in pregnancy leading to chronic HTN and increased lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease including end stage renal diseaseWomen with pre-existing primary or secondary chronic hypertensionWomen who develop new-onset hypertension in the second trimesterConsequences for baby: 5% stillbirths in infants without congenital abnormalities occurred with those with mothers with preeclampsiaPreterm birth rate – 1/250 women will give birth before 34 weeks from preeclampsia
  6. FIGURE 48-5 Placentation in normal and preeclamptic pregnancies. In normal placental development, invasive cytotrophoblasts of fetal origin invade the maternal spiral arteries, transforming them from small-caliber resistance vessels to high-caliber capacitance vessels capable of providing placental perfusion adequate to sustain the growing fetus. During the process of vascular invasion, the cytotrophoblasts differentiate from an epithelial phenotype to an endothelial phenotype, a process referred to aspseudovasculogenesis or vascular mimicry (upper panel). In preeclampsia, cytotrophoblasts fail to adopt an invasive endothelial phenotype. Instead, invasion of the spiral arteries is shallow, and they remain small-caliber resistance vessels (lower panel).  (From Lam C, Kim KH, Karumanchi SA: Circulating angiogenic factors in the pathogenesis and prediction of preeclampsia,Hypertension 46:1077–1085, 2005.)ABNORMAL PLACENTATIONFigure 1-3 During early pregnancy the tips of the maternal spiral arteries are occluded by invading endovascular trophoblast cells, impeding flow into the IVS. The combination of endovascular and interstitial trophoblast invasion is associated with physiologic conversion of the spiral arteries. Both processes are deficient in preeclampsia, and the retention of vascular smooth muscle may increase the risk of spontaneous vasoconstriction, and hence an ischemia-reperfusion type injury to the placentaConsequences of inadequate perfusion is intermittent hypoxia – generation of oxidative stressRelease of antiangiogenic proteins, activation of inflammation --- reduced organ perfusion in mother
  7. Neuro – seizure, headache, clonus (>3 beats)Eyes – Papilloedema, blurry vision, flashingCardiac – LV Failure due to increased afterloadLungs – ARDS – pulm edema; Starling’s Forces; increased pulm capillary hydrostatic pressure; reduced plasma oncotic pressure, endothelial dysfunctionAbdomen – pain below ribs, liver tenderness, vomitRenal – decreased urine output; damage to endothelium and glomeruliHeme – Platelets below 100 X109 per litreLiver – elevated AST/ALT above 70 iu/litreHELLP: characterized by hepatic infarctions and subcapsular hematoma leading to hepatic ruptureComputed tomography scan of the liver demonstrating hepatic infarct.Subcapsular hematoma in patient with HELLP syndrome.
  8. Side effects:Labetalol – can cause neonatal bradycardia, avoid in women w/asthma and heart failureHydralazine – can cause maternal hypotensionMethyldopa – is only a PO drug, central acting
  9. Cochrane Review:Physicians should use their own judgment on which drug to choose
