[Effect of nifedipine on fetal heart rate in pre-eclamptic patients].
From March 1st to October 31, 1989, we studied 23 women with diagnosis of severe preeclampsia, the gestational age in all of them was at least 34 weeks. A tococardiograph registry was obtained during 20 minutes prior to any management, after that a standardized management was started; nifedipine 10 mg sublingual was administered, and 20 minutes later, a new registry was obtained. In spite of a significative descent of arterial pressure, we did not find any significative change in the fetal heart rate, accelerations, variability, or in the fetal motility.
