Untreated hyperthyroidism in pregnancy poses risks to mothers and babies. Perinatal nurses require knowledge of thyroid pathophysiology and management to prevent complications like thyroid crisis.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Endocrinology
  • Perinatal Nursing

Background:

  • Untreated hyperthyroidism during pregnancy significantly increases maternal and fetal complication risks.
  • Effective perinatal nursing requires understanding the pathophysiology of maternal hyperthyroidism.

Observation:

  • Antithyroid medications are crucial for normalizing thyroid function in pregnant patients.
  • Continuous monitoring of clinical and laboratory data is essential for early detection of complications.

Findings:

  • Nurses play a vital role in recognizing and managing complications.
  • Key complications to monitor include thyroid crisis and heart failure in pregnant individuals.

Implications:
