Filter by:60 pregnant women with singleton living fetus between 34 -38 wks gestation known to have severe hypertension in the current pregnancy were included. All participants underwent Doppler ultrasonography to evaluate the Feto-Placental Circulation within 24 hours from Pregnancy Termination. Flow Velocity Waveforms were obtained from: Umbilical Artery (UA), Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA), Ductus Venosus (DV), Umbilical Vein (UV). From the flow velocity waveforms the following indices were measured: UA & MCA: Pulsatility Index (PI) & Resistance Index (RI), DV: Peak Velocity Index For veins (PVIV), Peak Systolic Velocity (PSV) & a- wave. UV Flow: Presence or Absence of Pulsatile Flow.
Excess weight or obesity is associated with an increased risk of health disorders: high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular risks, dyslipidemia and sleep apneas. During pregnancy in obese women, the risk of preeclampsia increases by three and the risk of fetal death in utero by five. Snoring and Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may be associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including maternal cardio pulmonary status, fetal heart rate and fetal acidosis-basis status by recurrent upper-airway obstruction, hypoventilation, and intermittent nocturnal hypoxia. Reports in pregnancy have identified in association with OSA and preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction and stillbirth. The prevalence of OSA among women is estimated to be 2-5%, but it remains underdiagnosed during pregnancy. In sleep apnea syndrome, a few data have shown better pregnancy and fetal outcome with the use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. the hypothesis is in obese pregnant women that there could be a significant association between sleep apnea syndrome and hypertensive disorders, preeclampsia and adverse fetal outcomes This is a prospective study of Women with a body mass index of 35 kg.m2 or greater. The aim of this study is to determinate the prevalence of sleep apnea syndrome in obese pregnant women and the benefit of CPAP on the maternal and fetal outcome.
This is a double blind randomised controlled feasibility study investigating the effect of postnatal enalapril on cardiovascular function in women who have had preterm pre-eclampsia. Participants will be randomised to 6 months of enalapril or placebo within 3 days of delivery. Cardiovascular function will be assessed using serial echocardiography and biomarkers.
The pre-eclampsia is a frequent pathology, concerning approximately 5 % of the pregnancies.The pre-eclampsia can evolve into severe maternal and\or foetal complications and is a major cause of mortality. The purpose of the study will to estimate the relevance of the serum markers sFlt1 and PlGF to predict the arisen of severe complications at these patients, what would allow to decrease the materno-fœtale morbi-mortality due to the pathology.
Phase II Study of 2.5 gm of nicotinamide, given daily in 3 divided doses, to measure effect on maternal blood pressure in women with early onset preeclampsia and to determine peak and trough levels of nicotinamide. We will compare peak and trough levels in healthy non-pregnant and healthy pregnant participants.
Laboratory monitoring of patients included serial measurement of complete blood cell count, liver function tests, coagulation profile, and renal function tests. ICU management during conduction of the research study included the following: Control of convulsions using magensium sulphate. Control of blood pressure Diastolic blood pressure above 110 mmHg, nifedipine was administered.A plasma volume expansion with saline was used in all women to maintain sufficient intravascular volume. Delivery was performed immediately after hemodynamic stabilization and clinical control of general condition .
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine infusion on the stress response to intubation, postoperative analgesia, and renal functions (urinary output [UOP], creatinine and glomerular filtration rate [GFR]) in preeclamptic patient.
Levels of blood pressure in adolescents with preeclampsia and eclampsia: Multicenter case-control study (Latin America). Maternities in Latin America: Two hospitals in Panama, one hospital in Mexico, one hospital in El Salvador, one hospital in Guatemala, two hospitals in Honduras, one hospital in Colombia, two hospitals in Peru and two hospitals in Bolivia. The objective is to evaluate the basal levels of blood pressure during pregnancy and determine if there is any increase that is associated with the development of preeclampsia and eclampsia without reaching the known values of 140/90 mm Hg. The sample is 1050: (350 Cases and 700 Controls).
This is an open-label multicenter randomized-controlled trial in 3 tertiary care hospitals including Ramathibodi Hospital, Phramongkutklao Hospital and Rajavithi Hospital. The study involved screening of obstructive sleep apnea in high risk pregnancy during 1st and 2nd trimesters. Randomization to either continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or usual antenatal care (ANC) until delivery will be done. Efficacy of CPAP on pregnancy outcome will be analysed.
Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) are two major pregnancy complications, related to a chronic utero-placental hypoperfusion. Nowadays, there isn't a screening or diagnostic test in clinic for utero-placental vascularization deficiency. Since 2004, 3D Power Doppler angiography has been used for the evaluation of utero-placental vascularisation and three vascular indices have been calculated: the vascularisation index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularisation-FI (VFI). A high intra and inter-observer reproducibility and its potential interest for placental function study were reported. The investigator's main hypothesis is that these 3DPD indices could provide predictive values for PE and/or IUGR occurrence much higher than those observed with the currents other markers. Objectives: The main objective of this study is to determine differences in 3DPD indices at first trimester between pregnancies defined at their outcome as uncomplicated pregnancy, PE (mild and severe) and IUGR in nulliparous women. Methods and analysis: This is a prospective study. The investigators expect to include 2200 women in 4 French centers: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nancy, Paris-Port-Royal (Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris), Strasbourg and Belfort (Hôpital Nord Franche-Comté). The nulliparous pregnant women will be recruited during their 1st trimester consultation for routine Down syndrome screening (11-13+6 gestation weeks). Especially for the study, the 3DPD and Uterine Artery Doppler (UAD) acquisition, which last less than 10 min, will be included in the current routine 11-13+6 gestation weeks ultrasound screening. Also, additional blood samples will be taken for biomarker analysis (PAPP-A and P1GF) and biological collection. Utero-placental vascularization indices (VI, FI, VFI) will be quantified using VOCAL® software. For each subgroup (uncomplicated pregnancy, PE and IUGR) mean values in 3DPD indices will be computed and compared using a pairwise t test with a Bonferroni correction p value adjustment.
