Eclampsia management at Kandang Kerbau Hospital revealed significant maternal and neonatal morbidity despite no maternal deaths. Substandard care was noted in most cases, highlighting the need for improved patient assessment and preventive strategies to reduce eclampsia incidence.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Eclampsia is a severe complication of pregnancy characterized by seizures.
  • Effective management and prevention strategies are crucial for improving maternal and perinatal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review eclampsia cases at Kandang Kerbau Hospital, focusing on incidence, management practices, and maternal/perinatal outcomes.
  • To identify areas for improvement in eclampsia care.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of eclampsia cases managed between January 1990 and December 1993.
  • Data collected included patient demographics, clinical presentation, management, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of eclampsia was 45.3 per 100,000 deliveries.

  • Substandard management was identified in 77.8% of cases, including inadequate use of anticonvulsants and antihypertensives.
  • Significant neonatal morbidity (74.1%) was linked to prematurity and birth asphyxia; maternal morbidity was 29.6%.

    • Conclusions:

    • Eclampsia continues to pose significant risks, with high rates of neonatal morbidity and notable maternal morbidity.
    • Improved patient assessment, timely preventive therapy, and vigilant monitoring are essential.
    • Regular audits and a robust notification system are recommended to reduce the incidence of this obstetric complication.
