  • Title: Sympathoadrenal activity, maternal, fetal, and neonatal responses after epidural anesthesia in the preeclamptic patient.
    Author: Abboud T, Artal R, Sarkis F, Henriksen EH, Kammula RK.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1982 Dec 15; 144(8):915-8. PubMed ID: 7148923.
    Abstract:
    This study confirms that preeclamptic patients have higher plasma levels of catecholamine than those of normal patients. It also demonstrates that epidural analgesia when administered to the preeclamptic patient during labor is followed by a significant reduction in the plasma levels of catecholamines without any adverse effects on maternal blood pressure, uterine activity, fetal heart rate, or the neonate.
