1) Hypertensive disorders complicate 5-10% of pregnancies and are a leading cause of maternal mortality. They include gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, and chronic hypertension.
2) Preeclampsia is defined as new hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. It is caused by abnormal placentation leading to endothelial dysfunction and multi-organ involvement.
3) Women with signs of severe preeclampsia such as severe headaches, visual disturbances, abdominal pain, thrombocytopenia, or impaired liver or kidney function require delivery, usually between 34-37 weeks of gestation. Strict maternal and fetal monitoring is necessary for management.
Gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia are conditions characterized by new onset hypertension during pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia is defined as hypertension accompanied by proteinuria developing after 20 weeks of gestation. It occurs in about 1 in 200 pregnancies and can lead to serious maternal and fetal complications if not properly managed. The cause is thought to be improper invasion of the uterine spiral arteries by trophoblast cells, resulting in vasoconstriction and reduced blood flow to the placenta. Delivery is usually required to resolve pre-eclampsia, as it poses risks to both mother and baby if allowed to continue. Management involves careful monitoring, treatment of symptoms like hypertension and edema, and delivery once the condition is diagnosed or

This document defines hypertension in pregnancy as a systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or higher or a diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or higher on more than one occasion. Preeclampsia is a multifactorial condition affecting 3% of pregnancies that is characterized by poor placentation leading to endothelial dysfunction and clinical manifestations including hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation. Magnesium sulfate is the drug of choice for preventing seizures in women with moderate to severe preeclampsia, given either as a continuous intravenous infusion or intermittent intramuscular injections to control blood pressure and prevent complications.
Pregnancy-induced-hypertension is hypertension that occurs after 20 weeks of gestation in women with previously normal blood pressure. Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) complicates 6-10% of pregnancies. It is defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) >140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) >90 mmHg. It is classified as mild (SBP 140-149 and DBP 90-99 mmHg), moderate (SBP 150-159 and DBP 100-109 mmHg) and severe (SBP ≥ 160 and DBP ≥ 110 mmHg).

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

10. PRE-ECLAMPSIA
The minimum criteria for diagnosis of Pre-Eclampsia are
Blood pressure > 140/90mm Hg recorded on at least two
separate occasions and at least 4hrs apart, presented
AFTER 20 WEEKS’ GESTATION with PROTEINURIA
>300mg/24hr OR >1+ protein with Dipstick.
EDEMA no longer is DIAGNOSTIC criteria for
PRE-Eclampsia
14. There are two stages of pathophysiology of Pre
eclampsia
STAGE 1: Deficient trophoblast invasion
STAGE 2: Endothelial dysfunction and diffuse
vasospasm
15. STAGE 1: DEFICIENT
TROPHOBLAST INVASION
• Failure of trophoblast invasion of
myometrium segments of spiral arteries
• Results in inadequate blood flow to the
placenta and foetus, resulting in
uteroplacental ischemia
16.
17.
18.
19. STAGE 2: ENDOTHELIAL
DYSFUNCTION AND VASOSPASM
Due to uteroplacental ischemia, oxidative and
inflammatory stress occurs resulting in
activation of mediators that cause
• Endothelial damage
• Diffuse vasospasm
20. ENDOTHELIAL DAMAGE
• Progressive inflammation = more endothelial
damage
Results in increased capillary permeability
causing
• HEMOCONCENTRATION
• EDEMA
21. DIFFUSE VASOSPASM
• Vasospasm increases peripheral vascular resistance
(PVR)
As Blood pressure = Heart rate x Peripheral vascular
resistance
Increased PVR increases Blood pressure
• Note that normal pregnancy is associated with
DECREASED PVR
25. SEQUELAE OF ABNORMAL
PLACENTA FORMATION:
Release of inflammatory mediators which cause
endothelial injury, causing:
1. Vasospastic and ischemic damage
2. Oedematous damage
3. Thrombotic damage
26. ORGAN SYSTEMS INVOLVED
These changes affect the following organ systems
mainly:
1. Cardiovascular system
2. Renal system
3. Hepatic system
4. Haematological system
5. Central nervous system
29. RENAL SYSTEM
Glomerular endotheliosis:
Characteristic lesion of pre
eclampsia which results in
endothelial and mesangial cell
swelling.
It causes:
Proteinuria of intermediate
weight proteins such as albumin
and transferrin.
Further exacerbates oedema.
• Decreased GFR which leads to oliguria or anuria in
severe cases.
• Oliguria leads to raised serum creatinine & urea.
34. What predisposes a mother to developing HTN and
Preeclampsia?
• Age
• Parity
• Multipara
• Obesity
• Family History
• Hyperplacentosis
• Metabolic Disorders
• Pre-existing Conditions
36. • Studies show that Pre-eclampsia tends to develop in
first pregnancy more than second pregnancy of a
person
• Multipara typically at lower risk for preeclampsia
than nulliparas.
• But multiparas associated with a change in paternity
has the adjusted attributable risk of preeclampsia of
29%.
Why?
• Possibly due to exposure to new set of paternal
PARITY
37. OBESITY
• BMI of 35 or more
• Leaves mother at risk of developing
various metabolic and systemic disease
38.
39. FAMILY HISTORY
• Having maternal family history of
preeclampsia was associated with up to a
115% increase in preeclampsia risk, with the
association strongest for early-onset
preeclampsia.
40. HYPERPLACENTOSIS
Hyperplacentosis is a condition of increased trophoblastic
activity.
Characterized by
⬆️ placental weight and ⬆️ circulating HCG levels
Higher than those associated with normal pregnancy.

Fibrin degradation products,
High level indicates DIC
54. COMPLETE URINE
EXAMINATION
•Proteinuria – defined as >300mg of
protein per 24hr urine collection (Gold
standard method)
•Dipstick reading of +1. (Used only if
other methods are not available)
55. • Proteinuria is the last
feature to develop in
preeclampsia.
• There may be few
hyaline cyst, epithelial
cells, or even few red
cells
58. CARDIAC BIOMARKERS
• To see if the patient is having or already had
a heart attack
• Troponin 1,myoglobin and CK
• B-Natriuretic peptide- higher levels of BNP
indicates possibilities of heart failure.
61. DOPPLER SCAN
• Umbilical artery doppler flow
to assess any blood clot
• We measure pulsatile index,
resistance index and
systolic/diastolic ratio.
62. SCREENING
• Uterine artery doppler is done in first
trimester, high RI indicates resistance in spiral
artery which leads to hypo perfusion of the
fetus
• Serum placental growth factor, low level
indicates small fetus with significant placental
pathology.
• Mean arterial pressure.
• Provisional Dx- Chronic hypertension
superimposed preeclampsia.
64. HELLP
HAEMOLYSIS
ELEVATED LIVER ENZYMES
LOW PLATELETS!
• Complication due to hepatic and
haematologic damage in
preeclampsia.
• Occurs in severe cases.
• CLINICAL FEATURE: Epigastric pain,
nausea, vomiting, liver
tenderness(Right S.C)
65. CONT..
• Hypertension maybe mild
• Can lead to ascites, hepatic rupture, DIC, placental
abruption, FGR, foetal demise.
• STROKE is most common cause of maternal death.
• TREATMENT: Correct coagulation defects, stabilize
mother, prompt delivery.
66. ECLAMPSIA (OBSTETRIC
EMERGENCY)
Definition: Tonic- clonic convulsions occurring in a
women with well developed preeclampsia in the
absence of any other(neurological/metabolic) cause.
• It’s an obstetric emergency, life threatening condition
for both, the mother and the foetus.
• Seizures may occur antenatally, intrapartum or post
partum (within 48 hrs; most common).
• Convulsions may lead to spontaneous recovery,
lethargy or into comatose state.
67. CONT..
• Clinical features: Severe throbbing headache, visual
disturbance, oligo/anuria and hyperreflexia in addition
to other manifestations of preeclampsia.
• Cerebral haemorrhage is the most common cause of
maternal death.
• Investigations: Urine for protein, CBC, coagulation
profile, cross matching for blood, LFT, urea &
creatinine.
70. • Oral: Labetalol (first drug of choice)
• Others: Methyldopa, nifedipine.
• I/V: Hydralazine or Labetalol infusions if severe preeclampsia.
• Contraindications of Labetalol:
• Bronchial asthma
• Severe bradycardia
• Overt cardiac failure.
73. MILD PRE ECLAMPSIA
(140/90-149/99 mmHg)
• Home care with BP monitoring 4 times a day along
OPD visits for maternal and foetal assessment
• Blood tests (for liver and kidney function) twice a
week.
74. MODERATE PRE ECLAMPSIA AND
SEVERE PRE ECLAMPSIA
(150/100-159/109mmHg)
• Hospital admission required
• BP monitored 2 hourly, blood tests required thrice a
week
• I/V antihypertensive (Labetalol or hydralazine)
• fluid restriction (80ml/hour)
• In severe preeclampsia to prevent eclampsia I/V
MgSo4 is administered.
(160/110mmHg or higher
along significant
proteinuria)
75. MGSO4 (ANTICONVULSANT )
Cerebral vasodilator and membrane stabiliser.
• Loading dose: 4gm , maintenance infusion: 1gm/h for
about 24hrs.
• Can be given as a remedy as it decreases further
occurrence of seizure or it can be given as prevention of
seizures in case of severe preeclampsia.
• Has narrow therapeutic range, Monitor respiration,
reflexes, urine output and MgSO4 levels to prevent
toxicity.
10% Calcium gluconate is antidote in toxicity. Dose:
76. DAY CARE
• To avoid hospital admissions as they add additional
risks to mother and foetus,
• ‘Day care’ could be offered, by midwife of the local
area, near by GP, nearest RHC centre.
• Preventive intervention: Low dose aspirin (75mg daily)
given to women at high risk of preeclampsia.
77. ADDITIONAL POINTS IN
MANAGEMENT
• If delivery before 34th week(due to any
complication)administer corticosteroid betamethasone
to mother, for foetal lung maturity.
• Monitor closely during 48 hours after delivery as risk
of convulsions.
• After C-section, is risk of thromboembolism and DVT,
so prophylactic S/C heparin and stockings prescribed.
• By 6th week of postpartum Preeclampsia will resolve.
