Aim. Justification of control of reconvalescence and individual rehabilitation in women who underwent severe preeclampsia (PE). Materials and methods. A prospective, non-randomized, controlled, open-label, nosocomial study was conducted in the period of 2016-2017. 170 women participated: 100 women with severe preeclampsia (32 – with early, 68 – with late), 70 women with moderate preeclampsia. Inclusion criteria: pre-eclampsia, singleton pregnancy, which occurred spontaneously in the natural menstrual cycle. Exclusion criteria non-obstetric pathology, by competing with the severity of pre-eclampsia, multiple pregnancy without fetal cephalic presentation, pregnancy due to assisted reproductive technologies, obstetrical pathologies, necessitating premature delivery or emergency. Results. In 70% of women the gestational age was premature. 53% of women with PE were primiparous and primgravida. Due to the atypical course of PE the time interval from the suspicion of PE to its clinical verification and delivery could reach 35 days, on average – 5,88±8,76 days before being transferred to the perinatal center. Time spent in the Perinatal Center before delivery was 3.43±2.3 days for early PE, 1.9±2.28 days for the severe late PE and 3.29±2.36 days for mild PE, was comparable. In women with severe PE critical (urgent) dysfunction of the organ (s) were diagnosed: signs of moderate pulmonary hypertension, interstitial pulmonary edema, hydrothorax; stagnant phenomena of both lungs; moderate hydrocephalus; dilatation of the left atrium; diffuse changes in the liver, pancreas, kidney parenchyma; paranephric discharge; hydroperitoneum; hydrothorax; hydropericardium. Critical multiple organ disorders due to PE in combination with delivery by cesarean section after delivery demanded staying in the intensive care ward within 2.6±1.84 days in severe PE and 1.0±1.41 days in moderate PE (p>0.05). 24% of women with severe PE after delivery under the supervision of ultrasound performed a vacuum-aspiration of the contents of the uterine cavity. The maximum time spent in the Perinatal Center after delivery was 7.65±2.34 days (5-13 days). The outpatient visits to an obstetrician-gynecologist varied from the 7th to the 15th week after the delivery. In 26% of women changes remained in the fundus (retinopathy, retinal angiopathy) and 35% - neurological symptoms (encephalopathy) of varying severity. In 16% of women d arterial hypertension with values of diastolic pressure more than 90 mm Hg was preserve. Conclusion. It is necessary to ensure the rehabilitation of women who have undergone severe PE, not only after delivery in a perinatal center, but also at an outpatient stage under supervision of related specialists. In the presence of fertile plans, individualized pregravid and preconception preparation is required with consideration of the nature of the scar on the uterus undergone instrumental uterine evacuation, specialized supervision by related professionals.
