The key takeaways are that preeclampsia is a condition characterized by hypertension and proteinuria during pregnancy that can affect both the mother and fetus. It was previously called toxemia of pregnancy.

Preeclampsia has two main classifications - gestational hypertension and mild preeclampsia based on blood pressure levels and proteinuria levels.

The three cardinal signs of preeclampsia are hypertension, proteinuria, and edema. Other signs and symptoms can include headaches, visual disturbances, and upper abdominal pain.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE
This case presentation was conducted for us to be able to gain improved depth of insight and perspective on patients with regard to their affliction for the purpose of gaining functional and applicable and proper nursing

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
At the end of the case presentation, the students will be able to: Define preeclampsia and its classifications. Identify the signs and symptoms and the possible complications associated with this disease.

Know what organ/s of the body are involved or is affected by the disease process and recognize what function of the body were altered by this condition Understand the pathophysiology of pre eclampsia based on the signs and symptoms manifested by the patient.

Enumerate the necessary medications needed and be familiar to its mode of action. Apply different nursing interventions and make use of the process as a framework for the overall care for the patient that would enable us to render the appropriate and effective interventions.

INTRODUCTION

Pre-eclampsia
Originally it was called TOXEMIA. Is a condition which vasospasm occurs during pregnancy in both small and large arteries. It appears likely that there are substances from the placenta that can cause endothelial dysfunction in the maternal blood vessels of susceptible women.

Pre-eclampsia may develop from 20 weeks gestation (it is considered early onset before 32 weeks, which is associated with increased morbidity). Pre-eclampsia may also occur up to six weeks post-partum.

It is the most common of the dangerous pregnancy complications. it may affect both the mother and the unborn child.

Cardinal signs: hypertension proteinuria edema

CLASSIFICATIONS OF PRE ECLAMPSIA

1.Gestational Hypertension Manifestations: BP of 140/90 mmHg No proteinuria No edema

2. Mild Preeclampsia Manifestations:

BP of 140/90 mmHg 1+ to 2+ proteinuria on a random sample or reagent strip test

weight gain of more than 2 lbs/week in the 2nd trimester and 1 lb/ week in the 3rd trimester Slight edema in upper extremities and face

Nursing Interventions: Monitor blood pressure. Promote bed rest (left lateral recumbent position)

Promote good nutrition moderate to high protein and low to moderate sodium) Provide emotional support. Administer magnesium sulfate.

3. Severe Preeclampsia Manifestations: BP of 160/110 mmHg higher on 2 occasions at least 6 hours apart 3+ or 4+ proteinuria on random urine sample or more than 5g in a 24- hour sample. Oliguria (approximately 400- 600 ml/24 hrs)

Cerebral or visual disturbances Severe headaches Epigastric pain Nausea and vomiting Pulmonary edema Hepatic dysfunction Thrombocytopenia Intrauterine growth restriction

Nursing interventions: Complete bed rest Support a nutritious diet. (high protein and low to moderate sodium) Monitor maternal wellbeing.

Administration of sulfate, fluid and electrolyte replacements and sedative hypertensive such as diazepam or Phenobarbital or an anticonvulsant such as phenytoin.

If severe, preeclampsia progresses to fulminant pre-eclampsia, with headaches, visual disturbances, and epigastric pain, and further to HELLP syndrome and eclampsia. Placental abruption is associated with hypertensive pregnancies. These are life-threatening conditions for both the developing baby and the mother.

Ophthalmoscopic examination may reveal vascular spasm, papilledema, retinal edema or detachment, and arteriovenous nicking or hemorrhage.

D. Eclampsia It causes seizures. These seizures


usually happen in women who have severe preeclampsia. However, they can occur with mild preeclampsia. The fetal prognosis is poor. Manifestations: loss of consciousness. jerking movements of the arms and legs. loss of control of bladder or bowels.

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS

Severe headaches Vomiting blood Excessive swelling of the feet and hands (edema) Oliguria Hematuria Rapid heartbeat Dizziness

Excessive nausea and vomiting Ringing or buzzing sound in ears Drowsiness Fever Double vision Blurred vision Sudden blindness

Risk factors:

Family history of preeclampsia Nulliparity African- American descent Chronic hypertension (high blood pressure before becoming pregnant). Hydatidiform

Urinary tract infection Renal disease Diabetes

Multiple gestation Primiparas younger than 20 of age or age more than 40. Preeclampsia in a previous pregnancy

Obesity: Body weight is strongly correlated with progressively increased risk, ranging from 4.3% for women with a BMI <20 kg/m to 13.3% in those with a BMI >35 kg/m Low socioeconomic backgrounds

Complications of Preeclampsia

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) Oligohydramnios Risk of placental abruption Risk of preterm delivery (often iatrogenic) Coagulopathy/ DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation)

Stillbirth Seizures and coma Pulmonary and cerebral edema Renal failure Maternal hepatic damage Hemolysis HELLP syndrome Thrombocytopenia

Medical

Management

Monitor BP, proteinuria and edema. Assess for placental separation, headache and visual disturbance, epigastric pain, and altered level of consciousness. Ausculted lungs for crackles or diminished lungs sounds that might indicate pulmonary edema Signs of impending seizure. Institute seizure precautions. Seizures may occur up to 72 hours after delivery.

Protecting the patient is key- side rails up and padded, suction accessible, O2 available. Monitor vital signs and FHR. Minimize external stimuli; promote rest and relaxation Measure and record urine output, protein level, and specific gravity. Assess for edema of face, arms, hands, legs, ankles, and feet. Also assess for pulmonary edema.

Weigh the client daily. Assess deep tendon reflexes every 4 hours. Administer Magnesium sulfate. Address emotional and psychosocial needs

Diagnostic Tests

A. Blood pressure test The blood pressure is monitored at least every 4 hours. Nursing Responsibility Explain the procedure. Discuss the purpose of test. Assist woman to the same position for each reading, preferably she should be in sitting position, if the pressure is greater than 140/90 mmHg, reposition the woman to her left side, wait 5 minutes and repeat the reading. If the pressure is continues to be elevated, Determine if the woman is experiencing headache, blurred vision or epigastric pain. Reposition the woman comfortably on her left side supported by pillows. Record the blood pressure per agency protocol. If the pressure was taken twice, record each reading, noting the time of each and maternal position.

B. Urine Protein test A.k.a 24-Hour Urine Protein; Urine Total Protein; Urine Protein to Creatinine Ratio; UPCR. It is used to detect protein in the urine, to help evaluate and monitor kidney function, and to help detect and diagnose early kidney damage and disease. Dipstick a strip of cellulose chemically impregnated to render its sensitivity to protein, glucose, or other substances in the urine.

The concentration of urinary

protein in random samples is highly variable, and urinary dipstick readings have correlated poorly in recent studies with the amount of proteinuria found in 24-hour readings in women with gestational hypertension.

Nursing Responsibility
Explain to the patient that the urine protein test detects

the proteins in the urine. Tell the patient that the test usually requires urine protection over a 24-hr period; random collection can be done. Instruct the patient not to eat foods that can color the urine, before the test. Inform the patient not to exercise strenuously before the test. Ask the patient if she is menstruating or close to starting your menstrual period. Instruct the patient to stop taking certain medicines that color the urine. Ask the patient if she is taking diuretics which may affect the test results. Collect the patients urine over a 24-hour period, discarding the first specimen and retain the last. Instruct the patient that he may resume her usual medications, as ordered.

C. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine


Measures the amount of nitrogen in your blood that comes from the waste product urea. A BUN test is done to see how well your kidneys are working. If your kidneys are not able to remove urea from the blood normally, your BUN level rises.

Nursing Responsibility

1. Explain the procedure. 2. Discuss the purpose. 3. Instruct the patient not to eat a lot of meat or other protein in 24 hours before having blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test. 4. Ask the patient if she is taking any medications (antibiotics) that can affect BUN results.

D. Liver function tests: Liver enzymes (AST, ALT, LDH, Bilirubin)


1.Liver function tests (LFTs or LFs), which include liver enzymes, are groups of clinical biochemistry laboratory blood assays designed to give information about the state of a patient's liver.

1. Alanine transaminase (ALT) - ALT is raised

in acute liver damage. When hepatocytes (liver cells) are damaged, this enzyme is leaked into the blood. It is also known as serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) or alanine aminotransferase (ALAT). 2. Aspartate transaminase (AST) - AST is raised in conditions of acute liver damage, however it is not liver-specific. AST to ALT ratio is at times used to differentiate the underlying cause of liver damage. It is also known as serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) or aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT)

1. Bilirubin is a breakdown product of

heme. The liver is responsible for clearing the blood of bilirubin. It does this by the following mechanism: bilirubin is taken up into hepatocytes, conjugated (modified to make it water-soluble), and secreted into the bile, which is excreted into the intestine. 2. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH Lactate dehydrogenase is an enzyme found in many body tissues, including the liver. Elevated levels of LDH may indicate liver damage.

Nursing Responsibility
Explain to the patient that this test is

used to assess liver function. Tell the patient that the test requires a blood sample. Explain who will perform the venipuncture and when. Explain to the patient that he may experience slight discomfort from the tourniquet and needle puncture. Inform the patient that she need not restrict food and fluids. Notify the laboratory and physician of medications the patient is taking that may effect test results; they may need to be restricted.

E. Hematology (blood cell counts) It is a common blood test that evaluates the three major types of cells in the blood: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets including hematocrit and hemoglobin.. It is a series of tests used to evaluate the composition and concentration of the cellular components of blood. Nursing Responsibility

Explain and instruct the patient that this test is to detect abnormal blood conditions. Tell the patient that the test requires a blood sample. Explain who will perform the venipuncture and when. Explain to the patient that he may experience slight discomfort from the tourniquet and needle puncture. Inform the patient that she need not restrict food and fluids.

F. Coagulation studies Hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels, and a low platelet count (HELLP syndrome) characterize severe eclampsia. A unique form of coagulopathy is also associated with this disorder.

Thrombin time This test is used to screen for abnormalities in the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. Prothrombin time (PT) The PT measures the function of the extrinsic and common pathways of the coagulation cascade. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) The aPTT measures the function of the intrinsic and common pathways of the coagulation cascade.When the aPTT test is being used to monitor the effect of heparin, the test is done before the first dose of heparin and then as necessary to monitor therapeutic dosage.

Nursing Responsibility 1. Explain and instruct patient about the

procedure. 2. Informed the patient about the importance of the test/ studies. 3. Before administering the test, ask the patient to list the medications she is taking. 4. Ask the patient whether or not he or she has recently experienced active bleeding, acute infection or illness, or undergone a blood transfusion., as these factors could adversely affect their coagulation test results.

Medical Management Monitor BP, proteinuria and edema. Assess for placental separation, headache and visual disturbance, epigastric pain, and altered level of consciousness. Ausculted lungs for crackles or diminished lungs sounds that might indicate pulmonary edema Signs of impending seizure. Institute seizure precautions. Seizures may occur up to 72 hours after delivery. Protecting the patient is key- side rails up and padded, suction accessible, O2 available. Monitor vital signs and FHR.

Minimize external stimuli; promote rest and

relaxation Measure and record urine output, protein level, and specific gravity. Assess for edema of face, arms, hands, legs, ankles, and feet. Also assess for pulmonary edema. Weigh the client daily. Assess deep tendon reflexes every 4 hours. Administer Magnesium sulfate to promote diuresis, reduce blood pressure, and prevent seizures. Address emotional and psychosocial needs.

Treatment: 1. Anti-Hypertensive Therapy Antihypertensives may reduce maternal and fetal mortality among pregnancy patients with hypertension as compared to placebo according to a randomized controlled trial . 2. Magnesium sulfate In some cases, women with preeclampsia or eclampsia can be stabilized temporarily with magnesium sulfate intravenously to forestall seizures while steroid injections are administered to promote fetal lung maturation.

3. Dietary and Nutritional Factors Adequate nutrition is important to promote fetal growth and maternal well- being. 4. Exercise Improves muscle tone, circulation and sense of wellbeing.

5. Avoid ACE inhibitors - possible fetal effects 6. Avoid Angiotensin II (AII) receptor antagonists 7. Bed rest - in mild cases 8. Induced labor - once the condition is stable. 8. Caesarian section - once the condition is stable. 9. Normal delivery - some babies are born vaginally; in other cases caesarian is chosen

Interpretation: the above data shows that america (north and south) that includes 75% of black race has the highest incidence rate of having preeclampsia. According to the april 2001 issue of obsterics and gynecolgy, americanafricans/african-americans are 3.1 times more likely to develop preeclampsia than white women (quality of prenatal care may also play a role). It means that black women are prone to develop such disease than white women, therefore race is one of the risk factor of preeclampsia as proven on the above data.

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Anatomy and Physiology of Female Reproductive System

Functions: 1. Puberty: It is the time of life in which the individual capable of sexual reproduction. It occurs on average between the ages of 10 and 14 years. It marked the maturation of the reproductive organs and development of secondary sex characteristics or external physical evidence of sexual maturity.

2. Menstrual cycle: Refers to the recurring changes that take place in the womans reproductive tract that associated with menstruation and intermenstruation. Hormones and pituitary gland regulate these cyclical changes. There are two main components of the menstrual cycle, the ovarian and uterine cycle.

Ovarian cycle: Occurs in response to two anterior pituitary hormones: folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
Follicular Phase: at the beginning of each menstrual cycle, a follicle on one of the ovaries begins to develop in response to rising of FSH level. The follicle produces estrogen, wjich causes the ovum contained within the follicle to mature. When the pituitary gland detects high level of estrogen from the mature follicle, it releases LH. This now causes the follicle to burst open, releasing the mature ovum called ovulation; occurs on a day of 14 of a 28 day cycle.

LUTEAL PHASE: LH remains increase and cause the remnants of the follicle to develop into a yellow body called the corpus luteum. It secretes a hormone called progesterone. If fertilization does take place, the corpus luteum begins to degenerate and estrogen and progesterone levels fall. It leads back to the day 1 of the cycle and the follicular begins a new.

Uterine cycle: Changes in the uterine lining.


MENSTRUAL PHASE: Day 1 of the menstrual cycle is marked by the onset of menstruation. During the menstrual phase of the uterine cycle, the uterine lining is shed because of low levels of progesterone and estrogen. At the same, a follicle is beginning to develop and starts producing estrogen. The menstrual phase ends when the menstrual period stops on approximately 5 days.

PROLIFERATIVE PHASE: When estrogen levels are high enough, the endometrium begins to regenerate. Estrogen stimulates blood vessels to develop. The blood vessels in turn bring nutrients and oxygen to the uterine lining and it begins to grow and become thicker. The proliferative phase ends with ovulation on day 14. SECRETORY PASE: After ovulation, the corpus luteum begins to produce progesterone. This hormone causes the uterine lining to become rich in nutrients in preparation for pregnancy. Estrogen levels also remain high so that the lining is maintained. If pregnancy does not occur, the corpus luteum gradually degenerates and the woman enters the ischemic phase of the menstrual cycle.

ISCHEMIC PHASE: On days 27 and 28, estrogen and progesterone levels fall because th corpus luteum is no longer producing them. Without these hormones to maintain the blood vessel network, the uterine lining becomes ischemic. When the lining starts to slough, the woman have come full cycle and is once again at day 1 of the menstrual cycle.

External Structures:
Mons pubis: A rounded fatty pad located atop at the symphysis pubis. Coarse pubic hair and skin cover the mons. It protects the pelvic bones during sexual intercourse.

Labia major and minora: The labia majora; are paired fatty tissue folds that extend anteriorly from the mons pubis and then join posteriorly to the true perineum, covered by the pubic hair , vascular and contain oil and sweat glands. Labia minora; paired erectile tissue folds that extend anteriorly from the clitoris and then join posteriorly to the fourchette, where the labia meet. Their thinner than the majora, are hairless, contain oil glands and are sensitive to stimulation.

Clitoris: The most sensitive part, compose of an erectile tissue, allows the woman to experience sexual pleasure and orgasm during sexual stimulation. Vestibule: It is the area between the labia minora. The urethral meatus, paraurethral glands, vaginal opening, and bartholin glands are located here. Perineum: The perineum and the muscles of the pelvic floor are capable of great expansion during birth to allow for the delivery of the fetus. It is the site of episiotomy is sometimes done.

Internal Structures:
Vagina: It leads from the vulva to uterus. The opening lies within the vestibule from which slopes up and backward to the cervix. The inner folds or the rugae, allow the vagina to stretch during birth to accommodate the full-term infant. It has ph of 5 and it is acidic to protect the vagina from infection. It receives the penis during intercourse and the exit point of menstrual flow.

Uterus: A hollow-pear shape muscular structure located within the pelvic cavity between the bladder and the rectum. It rest just above the urinary bladder. It prepares the pregnancy each month, protect and nourish the growing fetus and to aid in childbirth.
CERVIX: Tubular structure that connects the vagina and the uterus. It allows the sperm to enter and menstrual flow to exit. During childbirth, it must fully dilate so that the baby can be born. UTERINE ISTHMUS: It connects the cervix to the main body of the uterus. It is referred to the lower uterine segment. Thinnest portion of the uterus, does not participate in contraction during labor but it is the most likely to rupture.

CORPUS and FUNDUS: Corpus is the main body of the uterus and the fundus is the top most portion of the uterus. They are made up of three layers. The perimetrieum, myometrium, and the endometrium. Perineum is the tough outer layer that supports the uterus, myometriun is the mscular layer that is responsible for the contractions during labor, endometrium is the vascular mucosal inner layer, it changes under hormonal influence every month in preparation for possible conception and pregnancy.

FALLOPIAN TUBES: (AKA oviducts) Tiny and muscular corridors that arise from a lateral position on the superior surface of the uterus near the fundus and extend out on either side toward the ovaries. The functions are to provide a site for fertilization, a passageway and nourishing, warm environment for the fertilized egg to travel to the uterus. It is divided into three ssections:
ISTHMUS: It is the one third of the tube that connects to the uterus AMPULA: It is the middle portion of the tube and connects the isthmus with the infundibullum. INFUNDIBULLUM: the outer layer that opens into the lower abdominal cavity.

OVARIES: Located on either side of the uterus. The function is to produce the female hormones estrogen and progesterone which are responsible for female secondary sex characteristics and for regulating menstrual cycle in response to anterior pituitary hormones.

Cardiovascular changes Tremendous demands are made upon the cardiovascular system during pregnancy. The heart has to handle the increased load of an expanded blood volume. It also must adjust to the demands of organs systems with the increased workloads, such as the kidneys and uterus. In addition, the heart is physically pushed upward and to the left by the enlarging uterus, which may cause systolic murmurs.

Normally the blood pressure decreases slightly during pregnancy, particularly in the second trimester. The heart rate raises by 10 to 15 beats per minute on a average. Cardiac output increases, beginning in the early weeks of pregnancy and continuing throughout the pregnancy. During the late pregnancy, the gravid uterus can compress the womans vena cava and aorta causing the blood pressure to fall when the woman is in the supine position. This condition is called supine hypotension syndrome. The woman may feel light-headed and dizzy; her skin may exhibit pallor and clamminess. The treatment for this condition is to reposition the woman to a lateral position. The traditional position is left side-lying.
