Resumen
ACOSTA AGUIRRE, Yaneya et al. Preeclampsia and Eclampsia in the Gravid and Puerperal Period in Patients Admitted To Intensive Care. Rev Cubana Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2019, vol.45, n.1, pp. 14-24. Epub 01-Mar-2019. ISSN 1561-3062.
Introduction:
Preeclampsia produces proteinuria, edema and arterial hypertension. Eclampsia appears after preeclampsia or acute with seizures. Both states usually occur towards the end of pregnancy, during or after delivery.
Objective:
To characterize pregnant or puerperal women with preeclampsia-eclampsia, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.
Methods:
A descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study was concluded, in 38 patients who underwent a complete physical examination, complementary tests useful for their diagnosis and APACHE II index.
Results:
Puerperal pre-eclampsia predominated. The ages between 21 to 35 years prevailed. The most frequent risk factors found were advanced ages, personal history and nulliparity. The stay ranged between 4 and 5 days in both groups, with 100 % of live hospital discharges.
Conclusions:
The early diagnosis of severe and initial forms of preeclampsia is possible with a strategy of early follow-up in pregnant and puerperal women at risks.
