2. Maternal Mortality
Major causes of maternal mortality are
• PIH
• Eclampsia
• APH
• PPH
• Puerperal sepsis
• Obstructed labour
• Unsafe abortions
3. Introduction
• Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy

• Fetal morbidity and mortality
• Includes PIH, pre-eclampsia,
eclampsia, chr. Hypertension, chr.
Hypertension with superadded PIH
4. Definition
• Multi systemic disorder

• B.P. > 140/90 mmHg
• Proteinuria
• Edema
• Excessive wt. Gain
5. Classification
Finding Mild pre-eclampsia Severe pre-eclampsia

rises 1`5-20 mmHg
above the “usual’ level,
OR

BP is >140/90 mmHg

6. Eclampsia
• Characterized by convulsions and/or
coma
• Women has PIH
• Types antepartum, intrapartum and
postpartum.

reflexia, headache and visual
disturbances.

about S/s of PIH & ANC
• Failure to timely manage complications of
Eclampsia.
18. Diagnosis
• Pregnant women or PNC
complaints of severe headache,
blurred vision
• Unconscious
• Convulsions
• Elevated B.P.
19. Mgt. of PIH
• ANC
• Check B.P.
• Proteinuria
• Body edema
• Weight
• Regular ANC check-up
• Rise in B.P.
• Refer
20. Mild PIH
• B.P. 140/90 mmHg but less than
160/110 mmHg.
• < 37 wks
• > 37 wks
- TERMINATE
21. Mild PIH
< 37 wks.
• Bed rest
• Wkly visit
• Check B.P.
• Proteinuria
• Wt. Of the patient
• Body edema
• Exclude S/o severe PIH
• DFMC
• Check FHS
23. Mild PIH
> 37 wks.
• Assess cervix
• Accelerate delivery
• Check B.P. 4 hrly.(2 hrly if severe
PIH)
• Bed rest
• Proteinuria B.D.
• Monitor FHS
24. Mild PIH
• Give sedation
• Give antihypertensive
• Only if diastolic B.P. is > 110
mmHg
25. Eclampsia
Six major steps :
1. Maintain airway
2. Control fits
3. Control B.P.
4. Deliver the pt.
5. Maintain fluid balance
6. Give after care of delivery
26. Eclampsia
Maintain airway :
1. LLP
2. Gentle section
3. Oxygen
4. Place padded tongue blade in her
mouth to prevent aspiration and
tongue bite
DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS DURING
CONVULSIONS
27. Eclampsia
Control fits :
MAGSULF THERAPY
• Dose – Inj. MgSo4 – 4 gm (20 ml of 20%
sol.) slow I.V. at the rate of 1 ml / min.
NOT TO BE GIVEN AS BOLUS
• Maintenances dose 5 gm deep I.M.
every 4 hrly.
28. Eclampsia
• If convulsions recur give additional 2 gm
magsulf (10 ml of 20% sol.) I.V. over 20
min.
• Wait for 15 min.
• If still convulsions recur – give
diazepam
REFER
29. Eclampsia
Monitoring of MgSo4 therapy
1. Output atleast 100 ml/4 hrs.
2. Knee jerk present
3. Respiratory rate 16 breath/min
POSTPONE THE NEXT DOSE IF
ABOVE CRITERIA NOT MET
30. Eclampsia
Precautions :
Do not give
1. 50% MgSo4 without diluting it to 20%
2. Rapid I.V. infusion as it may cause
respiratory failure and death
If respiratory depression occurs (RR <
16/min)
1. Discontinue MgSo4
2. Give calcium gluconate - 1 gm I.V. (10 ml of
10% solution) over a period of 10 min.
31. Eclampsia
Other options available are :
1. Diazepam (10 mg I.V. slowly over 2
min.)
2. Phenytoin sodium
3. Largactil
MgSO4 IS SUPERIOR TO ALL ABOVE
DRUGS IN ECLAMPSIA
33. Eclampsia
Controlling fluid balance :
1. Intake output chart
2. Output 100 ml/4 hrs.
3. 60 ml /hr fluid intake
4. Extra fluid if vomiting, excessive blood loss
or diarrhoea.
PROPER MAINTENANCE OF FLUID
BALANCE TO PREVENT WATER
INTOXICATION, DEHYDRATION,
HYPONATREMIA OR PULMONARY
EDEMA.
35. Eclampsia
Delivering the baby
1. If PIH deliver within 24 hrs.
2. If eclampsia deliver within 12 hrs.
3. If vg. Delivery is not anticepated or Cx
is unfavourable or S/o fetal distress,
REFER
38. Rule of Thumb
• Pt. with severe PIH comes
early 1st
stage of labour –
REFER
• Pt. comes in late labour or 2nd
stage – conduct delivery, give
MgSO4 – REFER
Rule of Thumb
39. Eclampsia – Postpartum Care
1. Refer pt. After one hr. of delivery after ruling
out PPH
2. If pt. Has fits, observe for 48 hrs. after
convulsions.
3. Closely observe her consciousness, output
4. Monitor B.P. every hrly.
5. Given anti-hypertensives till B.P. comes
down to 100 mmHg diastolic
40. Eclampsia – Postpartum Care
• Do not give excessive IV fluid
• If after 72 hrs. there are no convulsions,
output is good, and B.P. is 100 mmHg
diastolic – discharge the pt.
• Arrange for follow-up – 7 to 10 days
after delivery.
CONTINUED FITS – REFER WITHOUT
DELAY
41. Eclampsia – Postpartum Care
Following Eclampsia B.P. may :
1. Return to normal within 48-72
hrs.
2. Return to normal after a few
wks. May remain high
permanently.
43. Through a team approach all of the skills
of the health care members involved can
be combined to provide the best possible
approach to meet the pregnancy’s need.
The role of patient education can not be
over emphasized. Incorporating the
mother as an active member in her health
care is an investment in time and effort
that is cost effective both during
pregnancy and labour.
44. A systematic & a well begun programme
with a positive thinking will definitely show
road to success to accept this challenge
