The prevention and management of eclampsia
Abstract
Hypertensive disease remains second only to embolic phenomena as a leading cause of maternal mortality. This article covers the major physiologic and pathologic findings to be considered when managing pregnant women with eclampsia. Attention to detail and an increased degree of suspicion will improve fetal and maternal outcomes.
