Maternal and Child Health|Have pregnant mothers heard of postpartum eclampsia?

(Summary description)We have previously shared that preeclampsia occurs at the 20th week of pregnancy and usually lasts until the first weekend after delivery. However, a quarter of the cases occur after delivery, usually within the first 4 days, but sometimes it occurs as long as 6 weeks after delivery.

1、What is postpartum eclampsia?

 

 

 

Postpartum eclampsia is a rare condition in which a woman develops high blood pressure and excessive protein in the urine shortly after delivery. Most postpartum eclampsia develop within 48 hours after delivery and are called late postpartum eclampsia.

Postpartum eclampsia requires prompt treatment. Untreated, it may lead to seizures and other serious complications.

 

2、What are the symptoms of postpartum eclampsia?

 

 

 

Postpartum eclampsia is difficult to detect on its own. Many newborns with postpartum eclampsia may not suspect that something is wrong. The signs and symptoms of postpartum eclampsia are usually similar to those of preeclampsia during pregnancy and may include:

 

 Increased blood pressure-systolic blood pressure is 140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure is 90 mmHg or greater;

 Excessive protein in urine;

 Severe headache

 Vision changes, including temporary blindness, blurred vision or light sensitivity;

 Pain in the upper abdomen, usually under the right rib;

 Nausea or vomiting;

 Decreased urine output;

 A sudden increase in weight, usually more than 0.9 kg in a week.

 

If the signs and symptoms of postpartum eclampsia appear soon after delivery, you need to be admitted to the hospital immediately.

 

3、What are the factors that cause postpartum eclampsia?

 

 

 

Limited studies have shown that the factors that cause postpartum eclampsia may include the following:

 

 An increase in blood pressure that occurred during the most recent pregnancy. If you suffer from high blood pressure in the 20th week of pregnancy, it will increase the risk of postpartum eclampsia.

 obesity. If you are obese, the risk of postpartum eclampsia is higher.

 Family history of eclampsia.

 age. Under 20 years old or over 40 years old.

● Pregnant with multiple births.

 

 

4、What are the complications of postpartum eclampsia?

 

 

 

● Postpartum eclampsia is essentially postpartum preeclampsia plus epileptic seizures. Postpartum eclampsia may permanently damage vital organs, including the brain, liver, and kidneys. Without treatment, it may cause coma. In some cases, this situation is fatal.

● Pulmonary Edema. This life-threatening symptom of chest tightness, shortness of breath, occurs when too much fluid is formed in the lungs.

● Stroke. When the blood supply in the brain is interrupted or severely reduced, the oxygen and nutrients in the brain tissue will decrease, and then a stroke will occur.

● Thrombocytopenia may be life-threatening.

● Like preeclampsia, postpartum eclampsia may also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in the future.

● Can be connected to the LIS system in the hospital

 

5、How is postpartum eclampsia detected and diagnosed?

 

 

 

● Blood test. It is mainly to determine how the liver and kidneys function, and the number of platelets in the blood, which help blood clotting.

● Urine test. The doctor may test the urine for protein.

 

6、How to treat and medication for postpartum eclampsia?

 

 

 

● Drugs that lower high blood pressure. If the blood pressure is dangerously high, the doctor may prescribe drugs to lower blood pressure.

● Drugs to prevent seizures. Antispasmodic drugs can help prevent seizures.

 

 

Response plan

 

After being diagnosed with postpartum eclampsia, the pregnant mother will stay in the hospital longer than planned, or the pregnant mother who has been discharged needs to be sent to the hospital again. Therefore, pregnant mothers should take regular physical examinations in accordance with the doctor's requirements to prevent the occurrence of preeclampsia and try to avoid the occurrence of eclampsia, so that the risk of postpartum eclampsia for pregnant mothers will be reduced, the occurrence of complications and the burden on the family will be reduced.
