Most common cause of death in HELLP syndrome
Abruptio placenta
DIC
MOA of MgSO4
Decreases Ach release
Decreases cerebral edema
Increases cerebral,uterine and renal blood flow
Blocks calcium channels
Parameters to be checked following MgSO4 admn

Renal failure
Roll over test is done after
28-32 weeks
Post partum eclampsia
Convulsions seen first time in peurperium within 48 hrs of delivery
Indications for diuretics in eclampsia
Pulmonary edema
Drug to be avoided while pt is being given MgSO4
Nifedipine
Roll over test
Pt turned from lt lateral to supine

Predictors of preeclampsia in maternal serum
Fetal DNA in maternal serum
Elevated Fibronectin
Drugs used in prophylaxis of PIH
Calcium Aspirin Folic acid Antioxidants Omega 3 fatty acids
Consequences of Rh isoimmunisation are not seen in first pregnancy because
IgM antibodies are formed during initial exposure
