| She collapsed on New Year's Day suffering from critically high blood pressure and eclampsia with convulsions. |
|
| If treated, pre-eclampsia rarely progresses to full-blown eclampsia and most women can have normal babies. |
|
| In rare instances, it can progress to a life-threatening condition called eclampsia. |
|
| Anticonvulsant drugs may also be prescribed to protect against convulsions due to eclampsia. |
|
| In June last year a trial showed that an injection of magnesium sulphate can halve the risk of pre-eclampsia progressing into eclampsia. |
|
| Vascular changes in preeclampsia and eclampsia include hemoconcentration and intense vasospasm. |
|
| Toxemia of pregnancy and eclampsia are among the four leading causes of maternal death, and result in several cases of prematurity. |
|
| The main causes of maternal mortality are well known: postpartum hemorrhage, eclampsia, dystocia and sepsis. |
|
| Saving mothers from eclampsia or children from diarrhoea does not always command their full attention. |
|
| If left untreated, preeclampsia may progress to eclampsia, a more severe condition characterized by seizures that can be fatal. |
|
| Typical clinical features especially seizures with typical findings for severe preeclampsia strongly suggest eclampsia. |
|
| Antihypertensive therapy doesn't alter the potential for developing eclampsia. |
|
| Pregnancy induced hypertension may develop into eclampsia, the occurrence of seizures. |
|
| For example, it may be hypothesized that recurrence of eclampsia in pregnant women is more common in those that have family history of hypertension. |
|
| Long term survival of mothers was addressed in 1976 by Chesley et al, who found no increased mortality in white women who had eclampsia in their first pregnancy. |
|
| As the timing of eclampsia is unpredictable, drills took place on the labour ward, antenatal and post natal wards, and in the emergency department. |
|
| Convulsions may be a symptom resulting from various conditions and diseases, such as epilepsy, uremia, eclampsia, rabies, tetanus, strychnine poisoning, and cerebral tumour. |
|
| In eclampsia, all the clinical manifestations of preeclampsia are magnified and are associated with seizures and, possibly, coma, premature labor, stillbirth, renal failure, and hepatic damage. |
|
| In the studies, magnesium sulphate for eclampsia was associated with lower risks of maternal death, recurrent seizure and major morbidity. |
|
| Reduce maternal mortality: maternal deaths from obstetric causes will be reduced by half, in particular by reducing rates of puerperal infections caused by eclampsia, haemorrhaging and dystocia, and by improving medical care. |
|
|
|
| Researchers looked at the hospital admissions of pregnant women in one of the port cities of south-western Bangladesh who suffered from eclampsia, an acute and often deadly complication. |
|
| Therapy for preeclampsia is designed to halt the disorder's progress specifically, the early effects of eclampsia, such as seizures, residual hypertension, and renal shutdown and ensure fetal survival. |
|
| Obstetric emergencies covered include shoulder dystocia, unexpected breech or emergency twin birth, sepsis, hemorrhage, eclampsia, and prolapsed cord. |
|
| Yes, he misdiagnosed Isobel's son's spinal condition, but he did discover that Mrs Hughes's cancer was benign and was proved right in the case of Sybil's eclampsia. |
|
| They found that the number of admissions of women diagnosed with eclampsia and hypertension peaked during the dry season, when the water's salinity peaks. |
|
| Occasionally these visual symptoms may indicate a more serious pregnancy-related condition, such as gestatory diabetes, hypertension, pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. |
|
| The NLM also notes that a first pregnancy is also a risk factor, which means that the doctor was right to diagnosis Sybil's pregnancy complications as eclampsia. |
