Dr Ruchi Shah, Dr. S. S. Mehendale

Abstract :

Pre–eclampsia is defined as a multi–system disorder of pregnancy presenting as raised blood pressure plus proteinuria. Preeclampsia complicates 2–8% of pregnancies. We have studied 100 patients with severe preeclampsia who have been given 4g intravenous MgSo4 on admission. The loading dose is prepared by diluting 4gm of MgSO4 in 12ml sterile water given over 5–10mins slowly with strict vitals monitoring and FHS monitoring. All patients of severe pre–eclampsia with B.P>160/110mm of Hg &/or associated with any of the premonitory signs and symptoms were given this dose. We monitored the patient till she delivered with daily B.P, urine output; urine albumin and FHS record were maintained strictly. Incidence of convulsions was 3% in my study. Perinatal outcome was excellent with 94 live births. Single loading dose of magnesium sulphate is an efficient prophylactic in preventing eclampsia, with a success rate of 97%.
