APGO educational topic number 18
00:02
preeclampsia preeclampsia is a
00:05
hypertensive disorder of pregnancy
00:07
diagnosed after 20 weeks gestation it
00:10
clamps he has new onset seizures in a
00:12
woman with preeclampsia hypertensive
00:15
disorders of pregnancy complicate up to
00:17
10 percent of pregnancies worldwide and
00:20
the incidence of preeclampsia in the
00:22
United States has increased by 25
00:24
percent in the last two decades
00:26
preeclampsia is a leading cause of
00:29
maternal and perinatal morbidity and
00:30
mortality with an estimated 50,000 to
00:33
60,000 related deaths per year worldwide
00:36
the objectives of this video are to
00:39
define the types of hypertension in
00:41
pregnancy describe the pathophysiology
00:43
of preeclampsia list the risk factors
00:46
for preeclampsia and describe the
00:49
diagnosis management and complications
00:51
of preeclampsia the four types of
00:54
hypertension and pregnancy are
00:56
preeclampsia chronic hypertension
00:58
chronic hypertension with superimposed
01:01
preeclampsia and gestational
01:03
hypertension preeclampsia is defined as
01:06
new onset hypertension after 20 weeks
01:09
gestation with proteinuria or and organ
01:12
dysfunction chronic hypertension
01:14
predates the pregnancy or is diagnosed
01:17
prior to 20 weeks gestation superimposed
01:20
preeclampsia involved signs and symptoms
01:22
of the disorder along with chronic
01:24
hypertension gestational hypertension is
01:27
an elevated blood pressure diagnosed
01:29
after 20 weeks without the systemic
01:32
findings of preeclampsia during normal
01:34
pregnancy fetal e derived saito
01:37
trophoblasts invade the maternal uterine
01:39
spiral arteries and replace their
01:41
endothelium converting the high
01:43
resistance small diameter vessels into
01:46
high capacitance low resistance vessels
01:48
to ensure adequate delivery of maternal
01:51
blood to the placenta as you can see in
01:54
this healthy placenta the spiral artery
01:56
is lined with saito trophoblasts making
01:58
it nice and wide to ensure a lot of
02:00
blood flow in a woman destined to
02:02
develop preeclampsia later in her
02:04
pregnancy this process does not occur
02:07
correctly and the UH thérèse remain
02:09
narrow decreasing blood flow to the
02:11
placenta and causing hypoxemia
02:13
studies have shown abnormalities in
02:15
vascular genic and angiogenic signaling
02:18
pathways but the exact mechanism for
02:20
this abnormal trophoblast invasion
02:22
remains unclear the biggest risk factor
02:25
for preeclampsia is history of
02:27
preeclampsia in a previous pregnancy
02:28
which increases the risk Sevenfold
02:32
preeclampsia on a first-degree relative
02:34
Prime at parity and multiple gestation
02:36
are also important risk factors to
02:38
consider the mother’s past medical
02:41
history should also be reviewed for risk
02:43
factors including pre-existing
02:45
hypertension renal disease
02:47
hypercoagulability diabetes obesity
02:50
lupus and age greater than 40 years
02:53
nonetheless
02:54
it is important to note that most cases
02:56
of preeclampsia occur in healthy and
02:59
nulliparous women with no other obvious
03:01
risks the diagnosis of preeclampsia can
03:04
only be made with a combination of
03:06
elevated blood pressure and proteinuria
03:08
or systemic findings the blood pressure
03:12
must be greater than 140 over 90 on two
03:15
occasions at least four hours apart
03:17
after 20 weeks gestation proteinuria is
03:20
defined as greater than 300 milligrams
03:22
per 24-hour urine collection a protein
03:25
creatinine ratio greater than 0.3 or a
03:28
dipstick reading of 1 plus in the
03:31
absence of protein Oriya severe features
03:34
including a platelet count less than a
03:36
hundred thousand serum creatinine
03:38
greater than 1.1 elevated liver
03:41
transaminases 2 twice normal
03:42
concentration pulmonary edema or new
03:45
onset cerebral or visual symptoms can
03:48
also make the diagnosis the management
03:51
of patients with preeclampsia involves
03:53
weighing the risks of maturity of the
03:55
fetus with the risks of maternal
03:56
morbidity of worsening disease
03:58
progression preeclampsia is managed by
04:01
close surveillance until 37 weeks
04:03
estimated gestational age this involves
04:06
monitoring the mother carefully with
04:08
frequent blood pressure monitoring serum
04:10
and urine evaluation to watch for
04:12
disease progression antihypertensives
04:15
such as hydralazine labetalol or
04:17
nifedipine should only be started if the
04:20
blood pressure exceeds one 60 systolic
04:22
or 110 diastolic ultrasound for fetal
04:26
growth should be
04:27
offered and if evidence of restriction
04:29
is found fetal placental assessment
04:31
including umbilical artery Doppler
04:33
velocimetry is recommended the fetus
04:37
should be monitored with twice weekly
04:39
non stress tests as well betamethasone
04:42
should be administered for fetal lung
04:44
maturity prior to 34 weeks estimated
04:46
gestational age and delivery should be
04:49
initiated at 37 weeks once the diagnosis
04:53
of preeclampsia with severe features is
04:55
made delivery should be initiated after
04:57
34 weeks if there is concern for rapid
05:00
disease progression then delivery will
05:02
need to be initiated even prior to 34
05:05
weeks
05:06
magnesium sulfate is administered for
05:08
seizure prophylaxis the mode of delivery
05:11
should be decided by fetal presentation
05:13
cervical status fetal gestational age
05:16
and maternal fetal condition eclamptic
05:19
seizure czar scary occurrences and it is
05:22
critically important to stabilize the
05:24
mom first for this will stabilise the
05:26
fetus women with the clamp Dixie’s
05:29
should be treated with parenteral
05:31
magnesium mode of delivery is again
05:34
decided by maternal fetal condition and
05:36
vaginal delivery can often be attempted
05:38
with labor induction even in the case of
05:40
eclamptic seizure x’ preeclampsia is a
05:44
progressive disease the hypertension may
05:46
worsen or signs of end organ dysfunction
05:48
may manifest over time including
05:51
eclampsia help syndrome placental
05:54
abruption stroke liver or kidney injury
05:57
and a RDS ecliptics seizures may occur
06:02
before during or after labor and result
06:05
in high perinatal and maternal morbidity
06:07
and mortality help stands for hemolysis
06:10
elevated liver enzymes and low platelets
06:13
is usually diagnosed in the third
06:15
trimester of a woman with preeclampsia
06:17
or gestational hypertension with
06:20
symptoms of epigastric pain malaise
06:22
nausea and/or headaches and can progress
06:26
to di c all of these issues are solved
06:29
by delivery of the baby and placenta
06:32
fetal complications include fetal growth
06:35
restriction and the issues associated
06:37
with increased risk of preterm delivery
06:40
and
06:40
Sentell abruption this concludes the
06:43
aapko video on preeclampsia we have
06:46
reviewed the definition clinical
06:48
features and management techniques of
06:50
this common condition in pregnant women
