what is the treatment of eclamsia?

Answer 1

Eclampsia and Pre-eclampsia are diseases that are unique to pregnancy.
These conditions typically develop at the end of pregnancy and result
in elevated blood pressure, swelling, and protein in the urine.
Eclampsia and Pre-eclampsia are the same condition, eclampsia simply refers
to the (very rare) occurrence of convulsions.

Although prenatal care providers have known about these conditions since
antiquity, we still aren't completely sure what causes them. We also know
the vast majority of times pre-eclampsia (also called toxemia of pregnancy)
is not life threatening. The conditions are cured by delivery of the baby,
usually by induction of labor and vaginal delivery.

Answer 2

The only treatment for eclamsia is to deliver the baby. Once the condition has formally been diagnosed they usually like to get the baby out asap to save the lives of both mother and chils so a c-section is the usual route forward xx

Answer 3

Eclampsia is a life threatening condition that only pregnant women suffer from. It's very rare, thankfully, but if a woman has signs of pre-eclampsia, then she will be monitored very closely during the remainder of the pregnancy to make sure her symptoms are not likely to develop into full blown eclampsia - there's a world of difference between the two things.

Eclampsia is when a pregnant women has convulsions followed by coma, and may develop complications due to the convulsions or seizures.

The treatment is admission to hospital Intensive Care Unit for close monitoring, IV lines will be put in and extensive blood and imaging may be done. Medication will be given through the IV lines to prevent or minimise any subsequent seizures, and as soon as she is stable, the baby will be delivered asap, either vaginally or by C/S.

Pre-eclampsia is quite a different thing, and very common by comparison. The usual symptoms of pre-eclampsia are raised blood pressure, and the presence of protein in the urine of the pregant woman. This is why you get your urine checked at antenatal visits, as well as your blood pressure monitored. The other symptoms for some women is that they will retain an unusually large amount of fluid all over, a general swelling which can be very marked, and the baby might show slow growth rates.

The women most at risk of developing pre-eclampsia are those over 40, with a BMI of over 35, those who are having their first baby, or when more than ten years have passed since their last baby, those with a history of high blood pressur, diabetes or kidney problems, and those who are carrying twins or more, and obviously those who have had it with a previous pregnancy.

About three quarters of women with pre-eclampsia will have symptoms during pregnancy, usually in the last three months, but about a quarter will develop symptoms in the first day or two following delivery - which is why you're encouraged to stay in close contact with medical support for the immediate postpartum period.

Hope that explains it.

Answer 4

The only 100% cure is for the baby to be delivered, failing that strict bed rest, which is really boring but crucial, no walking round no getting up other than for the loo maybe, in severe cases mum is hospitalised and catheterised if way too early to deliver!!!!!!

Answer 5

Deliver the baby by an emergency C section as soon as possible.
