Q

Prenatal care in pre-eclampsia

incl. foetal monitoring x4

A

ONCE-ONLY proteinura assessment with dipsticks, if more than 1+, do P:CR or 24 collection

Control BP - almost always labetalol, usually only treat @ 150/100 or more
Measure BP several times per day

Bloods:
Regular U&Es, FBC, bilirubin

Foetal monitoring:
CTG @ diagnosis and weekly
USS foetal growth @ diagnosis
Amniotic fluid volume assessment @ diagnosis
Umbilical artery doppler velocimetry @ diagnosis
Regular assessment of syx

Timing of birth:
Manage conservatively (i.e. not immediate delivery) until 34 weeks unless severe where birth may be offered before
If moderate/mild, offer birth in 24-48hrs where HTN persists to 37+0
REMEMBER STEROIDS IF PRE 36 WEEKS

Continue antihypertensive through labour
Recommend operative birth in 2nd stage in severe cases not responding to treatment

Post:
Continue treatment postnatally and consider reducing if achieve below 140/90
