Clinical Study of Postpartum Eclampsia
Dr. S. K. Rath | Dr. Swati Agrawal [2]
Abstract: Eclampsia continues to be one of the leading causes of Maternal morbidity and mortality in developing countries. It is true that with the outreach of Governments and Non Government agencies, more women are able to access antenatal care. This has increased the scope of early detection of cases of hypertension during pregnancy and thereby preventing development of eclampsia. However, with the degree of watchfulness abating in postnatal period, risk of development of postpartum eclampsia, particularly late onset ones looms large. We analyzed the data pertaining to eclampsia cases encountered in our hospital for two years and found that there is a relative rise in the incidence of postpartum eclampsia. Treatment protocol remains the same but the outcome is better with less chances of complicating other systems when compared with antenatal and intranatal variants.
