Clinical analysis of magnesium sulfate combined with nifedipine in treatment of pregnancyinduced hypertension

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical eflicacy of magnesium sulfate combined with nifedipine in treatment of pregnancy-induced hypertension.Methods One hundred and fifty pregnancyinduced hypertension patients were divided into two groups by random digits table with 75 cases each.The observation group was treated with magnesium sulfate combined with nifedipine.The control group was treated with magnesium sulfate.Then the blood pressure before and after treatment and the pregnancy outcome were observed.Results The systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure after treatment in observation group were lower than those in control group [ (133.2 ± 7.9) mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) vs.(142.5 ± 8.0)mm Hg,(80.6 ± 6.1 ) mm Hg vs. (86.6 ± 6.1 )mm Hg],and there were significant differences between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The spontaneous labor rate in observation group was higher than that in control group [ 65.3％ (49/75) vs.41.3％ (31/75 )],and there was significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05 ).The incidence of placental abruption,hypoproteinemia,postpartum hemorrhage,fetal growth retardation,fetal distress,premature delivery,asphyxia neonatorum,perinatal mortality in observation group were lower than those in control group [ 1.3％(1/75) vs.12.0％(9/75),13.3％(10/75) vs.33.3％(25/75),8.0％(6/75)vs.16.0％(12/75),2.7％(2/75) vs.9.3％(7/75),2.7％(2/75) vs.10.7％(8/75),2.7％(2/75) vs.17.3％(13/75),1.3％ (1/75) vs.5.3％ (4/75),0 vs.5.3％ (4/75)],and there were significant differences between two groups (P ＜0.05). Conclusion Magnesium sulfate combined with nifedipine in treatment of pregnancy-induced hypertension can effectively reduce the adverse pregnancy outcome,and reduce the asphyxia neonatorum rate and caesarean section rate.
