    Eclampsia remains a significant risk despite preeclampsia treatment. Magnesium sulfate and hydralazine are key therapies, with delivery recommended post-stabilization for maternal and fetal well-being.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Eclampsia persists as a serious complication of preeclampsia, posing risks to both mother and fetus.
    • Despite theoretical elimination, eclampsia remains a substantial threat in obstetric care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the established treatment protocols for managing eclampsia and severe preeclampsia.
    • To emphasize the critical role of timely intervention in preventing adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current therapeutic standards for eclampsia management.
    • Focus on pharmacological interventions and delivery timing.

    Main Results:

    • Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is the primary treatment for seizure prevention and management.

  • Intravenous hydralazine is the recommended therapy for severe hypertension.
  • Fetal and placental delivery is advised after maternal stabilization.

    • Conclusions:

    • Effective management of eclampsia requires prompt administration of magnesium sulfate and hydralazine.
    • Stabilization of the mother is paramount before considering delivery.
    • Adequate magnesium sulfate dosage is crucial, especially during maternal transport before delivery.
