ABSTRACT
Objective To study the rhythmic changes of 24 h ambulatory blood pressure in pre-eclampsia(PE)patients and come up with coping strategies. Method The levels and circadian variations of blood pressures in 240 pre-eclampsia patients were monitored and observed with 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Results Among the 240 PE cases,121 were diagnosed as mild PE and 119 as severe PE.There were significant differences in the average of 24 h circadian variation,the average of date time variation,decreased blood pressure at night time between the two groups(all P<0.05). Conclusion Through ambulatory blood pressure monitoring,nurses can monitor the rhythmic changes of 24 h ambulatory blood pressure,make reasonable arrangements for the treatment and care operations,reduce the factors that induce eclampsia and ensure the safety of mother and baby .
