Abstract
Severe pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH, pre eclampsia) is a disease which is now treated in the intensive care unit rather than with sedation in a dark room. The pathophysiology is now well understood and allows for better and more effective management. This paper looks at the strict haemodynamic monitoring and management required to prevent complications such as eclampsia, DIC, HELLP syndrome, maternal and foetal death. The nurse's role in the management of severe PIH is discussed.
