Abstract
Preeclampsia, one of the most mysterious pregnancy problems, is thought to be a placenta-caused condition that can only be healed by delivery. This article explores the history of preeclampsia, which is now predominantly understood as a vascular issue, from its inception as a syndrome associated with seizures, formerly believed to be a disease of the central nervous system (eclampsia). About 5% to 10% of expectant mothers suffer from hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. A major feature of eclampsia, a severe hypertension illness, is the emergence of grand mal seizure activity without the presence of other underlying causes. Although a clinical diagnosis is made for eclampsia, laboratory testing is advised to check for complications. Because of the urgent requirement for medical measures, such as managing respiration, circulation, and the airway, as well as making sure the patient is safe during convulsions, acute care during a seizure is essential. The preferred medication for anticonvulsants is magnesium sulfate. To avoid magnesium toxicity, caution must be used when administering it. Delivery is the final treatment for eclampsia. To spot any signs of delivery, it's critical to closely watch the mother and fetus. Obstetric indications, the degree of eclampsia, the fetus's gestational age, and the patient's general clinical condition all influence the delivery's time and method. The preferred anesthesia for women having cesarean sections who are cognizant, seizure-free, and have stable vital signs is neuraxial anesthesia.
