CRM Objectives: Communicate effectively with team and consultants to provide expedient patient care. Medical Objectives: 1) Recognize potential pre-eclampsia/HELLP and initiate appropriate diagnostic workup. 2) Administer appropriate dose of magnesium sulfate for eclampsia, including repeated doses. 3) Recognize apnea as a possible consequence of magnesium administration and appropriately work through differential diagnosis and management of apnea. Case Summary: Brief Summary of Case Progression and Major Events 30 year-old female, G1P0 at 32 weeks, presents to the ED with headache, blurred vision, nausea, and vomiting. Her arrival BP is 165/115. As the team coordinates her initial workup, the patient will begin to seize. She will not stop seizing until magnesium sulfate is given. The patient will then require intubation for respiratory depression. The case will end post intubation when the patient has been referred to OB. References Marx, J. A., Hockberger, R. S., Walls, R.
