INTRODUCTION
• Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) is a
condition in which vasospasms occur during
pregnancy in both small and large arteries. Signs
of hypertension, proteinuria, and edema
develop.
• Despite years of research, the cause of the
disorder is still unknown.
• Originally it was called toxemia
• A condition separate from chronic hypertension
• PIH is classified as gestational hypertension
– mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia and
eclampsia
Mild Preeclampsia
• BP of 140/90
• 1+ to 2+ proteinuria on random
• weight gain of 2 lbs per week on the
2nd trimester and 1 lb per week on
the 3rd trimester
• Slight edema in upper
extremities and face
Severe Preeclampsia
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
BP of 160/110
3-4+ protenuria on random
Oliguria (less than 500 ml/24 hrs)
Cerebral or visual disturbances
Epigastric pain
Pulmonary edema
Peripheral edema
Hepatic dysfunction
Eclampsia
•is an extension of
preeclampsia and is
characterized by the
client experiencing
seizures.

– Peripheral blood smear abnormal
– Lactate dehydrogenase >600 U/L
• Liver function tests
– ALT & AST elevated
• Platelet count <100 x109/L

COMPLICATIONS OF PIH
1.
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
– an abnormally restricted symmetric or asymmetric growth of fetus
2. Oligohydramnios
– abnormally low volume of amniotic fluid (less than 300 ml in total)
– AVERAGE VALUE: 800-1200ml
3. Risk of placental abruption
– premature separation of a normally situated placenta from the wall of
uterus
4. Risk of preterm delivery (often iatrogenic)
– delivery before 37 weeks of gestation
5. Coagulopathy
6. Stillbirth
7. Seizures
8. Coma
9. Renal failure
10. Maternal hepatic damage
11. Hemolysis
12. Elevated liver enzymes levels
13. Low platelet count (HELLP syndrome)
PRIORITIZATION OF NURSING
PROBLEMS
1. Ineffective Cerebral Tissue Perfusion
related to decreased cardiac output
secondary to vascular vasospasm.
2. Impaired Gas Exchange related to
accumulation of fluid in the lungs:
pulmonary edema.
3. Knowledge Deficit: the management of
therapy and treatment related to
misinterpretation of information.

IMPLEMENTATION
NURSING
RATIONALE FOR ACTION
ORDER/ACTION
1. Define and state the
limits of desired BP.
Explain hypertension and
its effect on the heart,
blood vessels, kidney, and
brain.
2. Assist the patient in
identifying modifiable risk
factors like diet high in
sodium, saturated fats and
cholesterol.
3. Reinforce the
importance of adhering to
treatment regimen and
keeping follow up
appointments.
4. Suggest frequent
position changes, leg
exercises when lying down.
5. Help patient identify
sources of sodium intake.
6. Stress importance of
accomplishing daily rest
periods.
1. Provides basis for
understanding elevations of
BP, and clarifies
misconceptions and also
understanding that high BP
can exist without
symptom or even when
feeling well.
2. These risk factors have
been shown to contribute to
hypertension.
3. Lack of cooperation is
common reason for failure of
antihypertensive therapy.
4. Decreases peripheral
venous pooling that may be
potentiated by vasodilators
and prolonged sitting or
standing.
5. Two years on moderate
low salt diet may be
sufficient to control mild
hypertension.
6. Alternating rest and
activity increases tolerance to
activity progression.

NURSING HEALTH TEACHING
• Encourage patient for sodium restriction.
• Encourage to avoid foods rich in oil and fats.
• Encourage patient to limit her daily activities and exercises.
– limit sexual activity
– Sexual intercourse at 2nd trimester should be avoided.
• Exercise
• Encourage patients on deep breathing exercises.
• Move extremities when lying.
• Elevate the head part when sleeping, to promote increase
peripheral circulation
• Encourage overall passive and active exercises program
during pregnancy to prevent need for cesarean birth.
• Exercises like tailor sitting, squatting, Kegel exercise, pelvic
rocking, and abdominal muscle contraction will promote
easy delivery.
CONCLUSION
 Presented a case of a 26 y/o Primigravida with pregnancy 26 wks + 5 days
with Severe Preeclampsia with BP >140/90 mmHg, +3 protein urine, 24 hour
urine protein and other labs pertaining to severe preeclampsia
 On conservative management such as antenatal screening, BPP with Doppler
velocimetry twice weekly
 Hypertensive work up CBC, UA, liver enzymes, creatinine, LDH, twice weekly
 Anti hypertensive medications such as Labetalol, Diazepam (Valium),
Methyldopa, Nifedifine
 Given that effective preventative measures and screening tools, routine
nursing assessments of the signs/symptoms indicative of Severe
Preeclampsia remains critical.
 Nurse-led patient education and the provision of a supportive environment
are essential to the optimal management of Severe Preeclampsia
 Individually tailored and compassionate nursing care of women with Severe
preeclampsia will serve to enhance the wellbeing of mother and baby
