  • Title: Acute life-threatening emergencies in preeclampsia--eclampsia.
    Author: Barton JR, Sibai BM.
    Journal: Clin Obstet Gynecol; 1992 Jun; 35(2):402-13. PubMed ID: 1638831.
    Abstract:
    Severe dysfunction of the pulmonary, renal, hepatic, and central nervous systems as a consequence of preeclampsia--eclampsia warrant aggressive multidisciplinary management and treatment. Preventive therapy, when possible or early recognition and therapy are clearly associated with improved maternal and neonatal outcome. Should cardiopulmonary arrest occur as a function of the disease process or management, then perimortem cesarean delivery initiated within 4 minutes of maternal cardiac arrest is associated with the highest rates of maternal and neonatal survival.
