Abstract

We reviewed 90 cases of eclampsia, an obstetric emergency associated with high blood pressure and convulsions, treated in two hospitals in Durban, South Africa. We present a protocol for the management of eclampsia based on this review and extensive clinical experience on this subject, which includes hemodynamic stabilization of the mother, prevention of recurrent convulsions, prompt delivery, and intensive monitoring in the immediate post-partum period.
