OR systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg)
without any of the abnormalities that define pre-eclampsia
followed by return of blood pressure to normal within 3 months postpartum
Develops after 20 weeks gestation (was normotensive before this)
Gestational Hypertension antihypertensives? - Answer labetalol, nifedipine, methyldopa
Pre-eclampsia - Answer The new onset of hypertension after 20 weeks of gestation (in a
woman who was normotensive before 20 weeks of gestation)
and the coexistence of one or more of the following new-onset conditions:
Proteinuria (spot urine protein/creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/mmol or ≥2+ on dipstick testing
confirmed by a protein creatinine ratio test.
Other maternal organ dysfunction
Severe features of preeclampsia - Answer Severe hypertension, thrombocytopenia,
Impaired liver function, Progressive renal insufficiency
Preeclampsia treatment? - Answer Nifedipine, Labetalol IV or Hydralazine IV
Eclampsia - Answer New onset of seizures in association with pre- eclampsia.
Magnesium Sulphate - Answer - Calcium antagonist, its effect on vascular smooth
muscle to promote relaxation and vasodilation may have a role in lowering total
peripheral vascular resistance (lower blood pressure)
Cerebral endothelium to limit vasogenic edema by decreasing stress fiber contraction
(decrease fluid in the brain)
,Act centrally to inhibit NMDA receptors, providing anticonvulsant activity by increasing
the seizure threshold (reduce seizures)
Magnesium Sulphate toxicity? - Answer BURP: BP decrease, Urine output decrease,
Respiratory rate decrease, Patellar reflex absent
Reversal of Magnesium sulfate? - Answer Give Calcium gluconate as an antidote (slow
IV over ~10 minutes. 10mL of 10% solution)

FOUR drug characteristics that facilitate drug molecule passage across a biological
membrane? - Answer Unionised, Lipophillic, No protein bound, MW <500 Da
, For a highly lipophilic drug would you expect the M/P ration to be high or low - Answer
High
Weakly acidic or basic drugs high conc in breast milk? - Answer Weakly basic drugs
typically have a higher concentration in breast milk than in plasma (M/P >1)
Since the pH of breast milk is lower than plasma, the degree of ionisation of a weak base
is higher on the breast milk side of the membrane.
