• #1 Postpartum Preeclampsia: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17733-postpartum-preeclampsia

  Postpartum preeclampsia is a condition that can happen up to six weeks after your baby is born. This rare condition causes you to have high blood pressure and high levels of protein in your urine. This is a serious condition that can lead to brain damage, stroke and death if not treated. […] If your healthcare provider determines you have postpartum preeclampsia, they may prescribe the following treatments: Blood pressure medicine to lower your pressure levels. Antiseizure medicine, such as magnesium sulfate, to prevent seizures (one of the most common risks of postpartum preeclampsia). Anticoagulant (blood thinner) medications to reduce the risk of blood clots. […] No. It requires immediate medical attention. If you have any symptoms of preeclampsia after childbirth, contact your provider immediately or go to the nearest emergency room.

  Acute-onset, severe systolic hypertension; severe diastolic hypertension; or both can occur during the prenatal, intrapartum, or postpartum periods. […] Pregnant women or women in the postpartum period with acute-onset, severe systolic hypertension; severe diastolic hypertension; or both require urgent antihypertensive therapy. […] Treatment with first-line agents should be expeditious and occur as soon as possible within 3060 minutes of confirmed severe hypertension to reduce the risk of maternal stroke. […] Intravenous labetalol and hydralazine have long been considered first-line medications for the management of acute-onset, severe hypertension in pregnant women and women in the postpartum period. […] the available evidence suggests that immediate release oral nifedipine also may be considered as a first-line therapy, particularly when intravenous access is not available.

  In April 2017, ACOG released standardized treatment guidelines for treatment of severe hypertension. Institutions should have protocols in place that address the importance of fast, standardized emergency intervention to decrease blood pressure in a hypertensive crisis. Treatment with a first-line drug agent should occur within 30-60 minutes of confirmed severe hypertension to reduce the chance of stroke. […] The goal of treatment is not to normalize BP, but rather to get it into an acceptable range of 140-150/90-100 or lower in order to prevent prolonged exposure to elevated levels that cause loss of cerebral vasculature autoregulation. […] If there is going to be a transfer to a tertiary care setting, BP stabilization and initiation of magnesium sulfate should occur prior to transfer. Magnesium sulfate is not used to control BP, but it is used for seizure prophylaxis in both preeclampsia and eclampsia.

  BP 160/110 mmHg or MAP 125 requires treatment. […] Severe hypertension in previously normotensive women is an obstetric emergency. If the patient is clinically stable oral agents can be used in the first instance. Rarely, the clinical situation will merit IV therapy in the postnatal period-as per the severe pre-eclampsia guideline. […] BP 150/100 mmHg commence regular antihypertensives. […] Offer Enalapril to treat hypertension with appropriate monitoring of maternal renal function (including serum K+). […] If BP not controlled with single medicine, consider a combination of Nifedipine (or Amlodipine) and Enalapril. […] Adding Atenolol or Labetalol (preferred if breast feeding) to the combination treatment or swapping 1 of the medicines already being used for Atenolol or Labetalol (preferred if breast feeding).

  In a systematic review of several randomized controlled trials, oral nifedipine (10 mg) was found to be equally successful in the treatment of severe hypertension in both pregnancy and postpartum when compared to parenteral agents such as labetalol and hydralazine. […] The use of oral nifedipine and parenteral labetalol and hydralazine had similar success rates of at least 84% of patients returning to normalized blood pressure and low rates of maternal hypotension (2%) and are, therefore, considered first-line agents. […] Oral nifedipine should especially be considered if IV access is not available. […] Many individuals following inpatient treatment of postpartum preeclampsia will require outpatient oral antihypertensives. […] At-home monitoring of blood pressure is also useful and patients should be advised to seek medical attention if alarm symptoms reoccur.

  High blood pressure in the postpartum period is most commonly seen in women with antenatal hypertensive disorders but it can develop de novo in the postpartum timeframe. […] New-onset postpartum preeclampsia is an understudied disease entity with few evidence-based guidelines to guide diagnosis and management. […] The cornerstones of treatment include the use of anti-hypertensive agents, magnesium and diuresis. […] ACOG recommends treating women with sustained, severe hypertension (160/110 mmHg) with rapid-acting anti-hypertensive agents within thirty to sixty minutes. […] Following initial stabilization of blood pressure, women should be initiated on oral anti-hypertensive agents if hypertension persists. […] ACOG recommends the use of magnesium sulfate for women with new-onset hypertension associated with headaches or blurred vision or preeclampsia with severe hypertension in the postpartum period, while acknowledging that this recommendation is based on low-quality evidence.

[…] The risk of postpartum readmission for hypertensive complication was reduced by 65% when patients were discharged on nifedipine monotherapy and 56% with combined nifedipine and labetalol treatment when compared with no treatment. […] This study demonstrated a significant risk reduction for postpartum readmission in patients who required antihypertensive treatment and were discharged on Nifedipine either as a single agent or in combination with labetalol.

Magnesium sulfate acts as a vasodilator, opening small blood vessels. If you had preeclampsia during pregnancy, your doctor may have already started you on magnesium sulfate before delivery to reduce the chance of maternal seizures (eclampsia). Usually this medication is continued for 24 hours after delivery, but in some instances it’s continued for longer. If you weren’t given magnesium sulfate before, your provider may start you on it now.

  Preeclampsia resolves after delivery. However, patients may still have an elevated BP postpartum. Liver function tests and platelet counts must be performed to document decreasing values prior to hospital discharge. In addition, one third of seizures occur in the postpartum period, most within 24 hours of delivery, and almost all within 48 hours. Therefore, magnesium sulfate seizure prophylaxis is continued for 24 hours postpartum. […] Rarely, a patient may have elevated liver enzymes, thrombocytopenia, and renal insufficiency more than 72 hours after delivery. In these cases, the possibility of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) must be considered.

  Postpartum preeclampsia is a high blood pressure condition that happens shortly after childbirth. The biggest concern is preventing life-threatening health complications for the mother, but it doesn’t affect the baby.

Talk to your doctor about the medications you’re taking and reach out for breastfeeding support if you need it. […] Yes, breastfeeding has many health benefits for you and your baby, even when you have high blood pressure. Breastfeeding won’t make your condition worse, and might even improve it over the long term. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding exclusively for the first six months of your baby’s life. […] Most high blood pressure drugs pass into breast milk in very small amounts. Many drugs used to treat high blood pressure during pregnancy are considered safe to take when nursing, but they’re not all the same. For example, some beta-blockers are found in breast milk in higher amounts and may not be ideal to take when breastfeeding.
