  20. INTRODUCTION • Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) is a condition in which vasospasms occur during pregnancy in both small and large arteries. Signs of hypertension, proteinuria, and edema develop. • Despite years of research, the cause of the disorder is still unknown. • Originally it was called toxemia • A condition separate from chronic hypertension • PIH is classified as gestational hypertension • mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia and eclampsia

  21. Mild Preeclampsia • BP of 140/90 • 1+ to 2+ proteinuria on random • weight gain of 2 lbs per week on the 2nd trimester and 1 lb per week on the 3rd trimester • Slight edema in upper extremities and face

  22. Severe Preeclampsia • BP of 160/110 • 3-4+ protenuria on random • Oliguria (less than 500 ml/24 hrs) • Cerebral or visual disturbances • Epigastric pain • Pulmonary edema • Peripheral edema • Hepatic dysfunction

  23. Eclampsia • is an extension of preeclampsia and is characterized by the client experiencing seizures.

  24. ILLUSTRATION: PREGNANT WOMAN BP > 140/90 mmHg ≥ 20 weeks of gestation? YES NO PROTEINURIA? PROTEINURIA? YES NO • BP >160/110 mmHg • PROTEINURIA > 5g/ 24 hours • GESTATIONAL HYPERTENTION NEW OR INCREASED NO, or STABLE YES NO PREECLAMPSIA SUPERIMPOSED ON HYPERTENSION CHRONIC HYPERTENSION SEVERE PREECLAMPSIA PREECLAMPSIA SEIZURES ECLAMPSIA

  25. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

  26. DIETARY FACTOR POOR NUTRITION RISK FACTOR: MULTIPLE PREGNANCY OR PRIMIPARAS YOUNGER THAN 20 YEARS OF AGE OR 40 YEARS DISTURBED SLEEPING PATTERN HYDRAMNIOS DIABETES, HEART DISEASE OR RENAL INVOLVEMENT CAUSE: UNKNOWN VASOSPASM VASCULAR EFFECTS INTERSTITIAL EFFECTS KIDNEY EFFECTS VASOCONSTRICTION DIFFUSION OF FLUID FROM BLOOD STREAM INTO INTERSTITIAL TISSUE DECREASED GLOMERULI FILTRATION RATE AND ULIINCRESED PERMEABILITY OF GLOMERULI MEMBRANES POOR ORGAN PERFUSION INCREASED SERUM BLOOD UREA NITROGEN, URIC ACID AND CREATININE INCREASED BLOOD PRESSURE DECREASED URINE OUTPUT AND PROTEINURIA EDEMA

  27. VII. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

  28. VIII. NURSING INTERVENTION Intervention for mild PIH: • Assess maternal VS and fetal heart rate. • Promote bed rest • Encourage elevation of edematous arms and legs • Obtain daily hematocrit levels as ordered(reference ranges 34.1-44.9%) • Obtain blood studies (CBC, platelets count, liver function, BUN and creatinine, and fibrin degregation). • Obtain daily weights at the same time each day • Promote good nutrition • Support nutritious diet of low salt low fat. • Provide emotional support

  29. Intervention for severe PIH: • Maintain patient’s airway by putting a tongue blade or airway between a woman’s teeth during seizures. • Turn a woman on her side. • Raise side rails. • Encourage compliance with bed rest in a lateral recumbent position • Support patient with bed rest and darken the room if possible. • Monitor maternal well being • Monitor fetal well being • Support a nutritious diet • Administer medications to prevent eclampsia • Provide emotional support.

  30. TREATMENT • Use of drugs • Catheterization • Obtaining labs

  31. MEDICAL TREATMENT

  32. LABORATORY TEST • Assessment for High Risk of Developing PreeclampsiaGoal: Establish baseline levels early in pregnancy and monitor for progression to HELLP or severe preeclampsia.

  33. Diagnosis of HELLP Syndrome • Hemolysis • Bilirubin >1.2 mg/dL • Peripheral blood smear abnormal • Lactate dehydrogenase >600 U/L • Liver function tests • ALT & AST elevated • Platelet count <100 x109/L • Diagnosed Preeclampsia (Therapeutic Monitoring) • All of the above • Albumin • Coagulation testing

  34. COMPLICATIONS OF PIH • Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) • an abnormally restricted symmetric or asymmetric growth of fetus 2. Oligohydramnios • abnormally low volume of amniotic fluid (less than 300 ml in total) • AVERAGE VALUE: 800-1200ml 3. Risk of placental abruption • premature separation of a normally situated placenta from the wall of uterus 4. Risk of preterm delivery (often iatrogenic) • delivery before 37 weeks of gestation 5. Coagulopathy 6. Stillbirth 7. Seizures 8. Coma 9. Renal failure 10. Maternal hepatic damage 11. Hemolysis 12. Elevated liver enzymes levels 13. Low platelet count (HELLP syndrome)

  35. PRIORITIZATION OF NURSING PROBLEMS • Ineffective Cerebral Tissue Perfusion related to decreased cardiac output secondary to vascular vasospasm. • Impaired Gas Exchange related to accumulation of fluid in the lungs: pulmonary edema. • Knowledge Deficit: the management of therapy and treatment related to misinterpretation of information.

  36. NURSING HEALTH TEACHING • Encourage patient for sodium restriction. • Encourage to avoid foods rich in oil and fats. • Encourage patient to limit her daily activities and exercises. • limit sexual activity • Sexual intercourse at 2nd trimester should be avoided. • Exercise • Encourage patients on deep breathing exercises. • Move extremities when lying. • Elevate the head part when sleeping, to promote increase peripheral circulation • Encourage overall passive and active exercises program during pregnancy to prevent need for cesarean birth. • Exercises like tailor sitting, squatting, Kegel exercise, pelvic rocking, and abdominal muscle contraction will promote easy delivery. 

  37. CONCLUSION • Presented a case of a 26 y/o Primigravida with pregnancy 26 wks + 5 days with Severe Preeclampsia with BP >140/90 mmHg, +3 protein urine, 24 hour urine protein and other labs pertaining to severe preeclampsia • On conservative management such as antenatal screening, BPP with Doppler velocimetry twice weekly • Hypertensive work up CBC, UA, liver enzymes, creatinine, LDH, twice weekly • Anti hypertensive medications such as Labetalol, Diazepam (Valium), Methyldopa, Nifedifine • Given that effective preventative measures and screening tools, routine nursing assessments of the signs/symptoms indicative of Severe Preeclampsia remains critical. • Nurse-led patient education and the provision of a supportive environment are essential to the optimal management of Severe Preeclampsia • Individually tailored and compassionate nursing care of women with Severe preeclampsia will serve to enhance the wellbeing of mother and baby
