Re: Re: recent advances in eclampsia

Since I don't have to appear in any exams etc., my replies to such infantile questions and answers, are always clinically oriented and some times they are not understood but that's ok. Its nice to have adequate prenatal care and rest of the verbiage but at the end of day, in labor and delivery room, you have to make a decision' sometimes very quickly and that's called application and tailoring of your knowledge to the specific needs of that particular patient. That's what I call practice of medicine. Whether its evidence based or not, if the outcome is good, there is no problem but if the outcome is bad, even if it is evidence based practice, some one has to pay the price. Guidelines are written for guidance and that's about it, "just guidance". People who write guidelines, most of the times have nothing to do with patient management.

This is your best bet.All green topped guidelines by RCOG are usually renewed after 2 yrs.Also, try the the NICE website(www.nice.org) and put down Eclampsia in the search tool.Good Luck!

Re: Re: Re: recent advances in eclampsia

i agree its hard to predict but a care plan in high risk patients can reduce morbidity. delivery esp preterm is not the ideal way of managing these pregnancies.

Re: Re: recent advances in eclampsia

For pre-eclampsia/eclampsia study, you should visit Kinshasa maternity Hospital in Kinshasa, formerly Zaire, now Republic of Congo. They have a very high incidence of eclampsia compared to the West and they don't use any of the phony drugs used in the US/UK and yet their mortality/morbidity is quite low, given their circumstances.
