[Treatment of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia].
From 1964 to 1984 (a 21-year period), out of 102.277 deliveries, there were 80 cases (0.8%) of eclampsia and 443 cases (4.3%) of pre-eclampsia. One patient (1.25%) with eclampsia died after delivery. Out of 539 children from mothers with pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, 44 (8.2%) died after birth. The delivery of the greatest number of women with pre-eclampsia and eclampsia was terminated vaginally (81.5% and 77.5% respectively). In the prevention and treatment of convulsions the authors use Diazepam and also the antihypertensive drug Diazoxide, along with the administration of diuretics (Furosemide) if necessary. For the reconstitution of fluid, they apply plasma expanders, electrolyte solutions, and 10% glucose infusions. All patients with eclampsia should be delivered by the vaginal induction of labour or by caesarean section as soon as the convulsions are under control.
