Background: Preeclampsia constitutes a serious problem with high incidence that faces the workers in the field of obstetrics and needs good diagnosis and management and must not be neglected as maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality are so dangerous.
Aim of the work: To different Regimens Of Magnesium Sulfate And It's Role In Management Of Women With Severe Pre-Eclampsia
Patients and methods: A randomized controlled study that compared three regimens for administration of MgSO4 used for the cases of severe pre-eclampsia that was performed in the Obstetrics & Gynecology Department, Agouza police Hospital during the period from decemeber 2018 to the end of August 2019
Results: 240 patients were recruited for our study based on their presentation which was severe preeclampsia.
Mean age of patients was; 26.65 years, SD 5.113 (range;16-42).
Mean gestational age was; 35.75 weeks, SD 2.769 (range;28-40).
Mean systolic BP was; 161.88mmHg, SD 17.121 (range;100-210).
Mean diastolic BP was; 103.15, SD 12.127 (range;50-120).
Conclusion: The use of loading dose only of MgSO4 in the ante-partum period with no post partum maintenance doses. If complications occurred, we recommend the abbreviated regimen as an alternative to the standard regimen.
