RESUMEN
Background: Eclampsia is the convulsive and most severe manifestation of the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Eclampsia is defined by new-onset tonic-clonic, focal, or multifocal seizures in the absence of other causative conditions.Methods: It is a prospective observational study conducted in BMC Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, India of duration one year, according to inclusion and exclusion criteria with 72 eclampsia patients.Results: Most patients had vaginal deliveries 62.5%. There were 4.2% maternal deaths. 65.4% patients’ babies were shifted to mother’s side. Lesser no. of SNCU referrals were seen in cases of LSCS as compared to vaginal deliveries, in cases where patients had GCS more than 8 at time of admission, where admission delivery interval was less than 12 hrs.Conclusions: The results of the current study indicated that better the general condition of patient at time of admission, lesser the induction/admission delivery interval-better is the fetal maternal outcome. Eclampsia could have been prevented in patients by regular antenatal visits and early detection in pre-eclampsia/gestational hypertension stage.
