Summary

The only effective treatment of severe preeclampsia is delivery of the fetus but immediate antihypertensive treatment is given to stabilize the patient and prevent further complications. All antihypertensive medication can potentially cross the placenta. At this time, there are no randomized control trials to base a recommendation for the use of one antihypertensive agent over another. However, certain medications are effective in lowering blood pressure with an acceptable safety profile in pregnancy. The choice of therapy depends on the acuity and severity of hypertension

Conditions

  • Severe Pre-eclampsia

Interventions

DRUG

Labetalol

Group L will recieve labetalol intravenous infusion (Trandate, Gsk) in a concentration of 10 mg/ ml, thus 50 mg/ml equals to 5 ml/hr. The starting infusion rate of the antihypertensive medication is 5 ml/hr for an 80 Kg patient.
