Preeclampsia & Eclampsia | Maternal Emergencies | Critical Care Webinar

This focused session delved into the life-threatening maternal emergencies of Preeclampsia and Eclampsia, highlighting their pathophysiology, early recognition, and advanced critical care management. The discussion spanned hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, seizure prevention strategies, and the role of ICU support in complicated obstetric cases. Emphasis was placed on identifying red flag symptoms—such as severe headache, visual disturbances, and elevated blood pressure—as well as on monitoring organ involvement like renal dysfunction, HELLP syndrome, and pulmonary edema. The experts elaborated on the use of magnesium sulfate protocols, antihypertensive therapy, fetal monitoring, and decisions around timing of delivery. The session also included real case presentations, offering attendees a practical understanding of managing high-risk pregnancies in the ICU setting. Multidisciplinary collaboration among intensivists, obstetricians, anesthesiologists, and neonatologists was stressed as the cornerstone of improving maternal and fetal outcomes in such critical scenarios.
