Making sure the woman can breathe
• Place the woman on her left side to reduce the risk of aspiration.
• Give oxygen and continue for five minutes after each fit, or longer if cyanosis persists.
• After a convulsion, aspirate the mouth and throat as necessary to clear the airway.
• Monitor her and ensure that her airway is clear.

Controlling the fits
• MAGNESIUM SULFATE is the drug of choice– How to administer?– What all to monitor?– In case of Respiratory Arrest?

How to administer?LOADING DOSE• 4g of 20%MgSO4 slow IV infusion for 5 mins.• 5g of 50%MgSO4 IM in each buttock.• If convulsions recur after 15 minutes, give 2g 50%MgSO4 slow IV for 5 minute.
MAINTENANCE DOSE• 5g 50%MgSO4 IM every 4 hrs.
MAXIMUM DOSE• 20g in 24 hrs

What all to monitor?
• Respiratory Rate : <16/min
• Patellar Reflex : absent
• Urine Output : <30ml/hr

• 1g of 10% calcium gluconate(10ml) slow IV infusion until respiration begins
• Assisted ventilation

Care after delivery• Careful observations for at least 48 hours after
delivery.• Anticonvulsive therapy should be maintained for 24
hours after• delivery/last convulsion, whichever occurs last.• Antihypertensive therapy is continued until the
diastolic blood• pressure decreases to less than 100 mmHg.• Quiet, dark room with attendant.• Monitor urinary output• If after 48 hours there are no fits, the urinary
output is good and the diastolic blood pressure is below 100 mmHg, the woman can be transferred to the main ward to recover.
• Continue four–hourly blood pressure checks for a few days.
• Follow up six weeks after delivery.
