[Early postpartum management of patients with severe preeclampsia].
The delivery of the foetus and placenta remains the curative treatment for PE, usually allowing a spontaneous, quick and complete regression of all clinical signs and biological anomalies within the first days. However, the risk of developing complications associated with the condition persists mainly during the first 48 to 72 hours and up to one week post partum. Post partum haemodynamic upset and the administered therapeutic measures are predisposing factors to these complications. This critical period therefore requires intensive monitoring and the delivery of appropriate treatments.
