Hypertension in Pregnancy
Hypertension in PregnancyAffects 5-8% of pregnancies
15% of maternal mortality (2nd leading cause after embolism)
Major cause of fetal morbidityPreterm birthLink to cardiovascular and metabolic disease
Hypertension in Pregnancy Classification
Chronic Hypertension
Gestational Hypertension
Preeclampsia/Eclampsia
Preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension
Chronic Hypertension3-5% of pregnancies
Diagnosed before pregnancy, before 20 weeks or persists after 12 weeks PP
Mild: SBP>140 or DBP>90 mmHg
Severe: SBP >160 or DBP >110 mmHg
Proper Measurement of BP
Korotkoff Phase V (mention IV if no V), slow drop in mmHg
Cuff size
Upright and rested > 10 min
Left lateral, arm at level of heart
No tobacco/caffeine for 30 min
Repeat, > 2 minutes apart
Chronic Hypertension in PregnancyWatch for normal decrease in BP after first trimester
Nadir at 16-18 weeks
BP returns in third trimester
Cr also decreases secondary to increased GFR
Chronic hypertension work-upPrimary hypertension
Secondary hypertensionBaseline labs
UA, culture, CMPTSHPhysical examRenal ultrasound
Complications of chronic hypertension
Fetal RisksPremature birth- 12-34%Intrauterine growth restriction(IUGR)- 8-16%Fetal demise- 3.5XPlacental abruption- 0.7-1.5%Cesarean delivery
Maternal RisksSuperimposed preeclampsia- 10-25%
Malignant hypertensionCNS hemorrhageCardiac decompensationRenal deterioration
Chronic Hypertension in PregnancyPrepregnancy-EKG, Echo, renal function (creat < 1.4), baseline labs, opthamology
Weight loss, 6 gm sodium diet w/ low fats, exercise, stop smoking, limit alcohol, maintain potassium and calcium
Baseline preeclampsia labs, 24 hour urine for total protein and creatinine clearance

Chronic Hypertension in Pregnancy -Treatment
No improvement in perinatal complications with treatment
Recommend starting treatment for SBP >150-160 or DBP >100-110 mmHg
Treat if mother has CV, connective tissue d/o, dyslipidemia, hx of stroke, diabetes or renal involvement
Control of Hypertension in pregnancy(CHIPS)
Primary research question: For pregnant women with non-severe, non-proteinuric maternal hypertension at 14 - 33 weeks, will 'less tight' control (target diastolic blood pressure [dBP] of 100 mmHg) versus 'tight' control (target dBP of 85 mmHg) increase (or decrease) the likelihood of pregnancy loss or Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) admission for greater than 48 hours?
Secondary research question: Will 'less tight' versus 'tight' control increase (or decrease) the likelihood of serious maternal complications?
Other research questions: Will 'less tight' versus 'tight' control: 1. Increase (or decrease) the likelihood of serious perinatal complications? 2. Increase (or decrease) the likelihood of severe hypertension and pre-eclampsia? 3. Increase (or decrease) the likelihood of maternal satisfaction with care? 4. Result in significant changes in dBP or health care costs?
Chronic Hypertension in Pregnancy -Treatment
Methyldopa
Labetalol (avoid in asthmatics)
Nifedipine
Atenolol (? 2.5 x risk of IUGR)
Diuretic (avoid if superimposed preeclampsia)
ACE/ARB - Avoid in all trimesters, decrease uterine blood flow, neonatal renal failure
Chronic Hypertension in Pregnancy
Hutcheon BJOG 2010
Morbidity associated with superimposed preeclampsia
Antepartum testing - no consensusYes if IUGR or preeclampsia
Guideline - 18-20 week US, then every 4-6 weeks.
Delivery
Chronic Hypertension in PregnancyRegional anesthesia OK
General anesthesia - Increase BP with intubation/extubation
Ketamine/methergine may increase BP
Gestational HypertensionElevated BP >140/90 after 20 weeks in the absence of proteinuria
Normal BP by 12 weeks PP
Replaces “Transient hypertension” and “PIH”
Some eventually develop preeclampsia
Some eventually diagnosed with CHTN

Magnesium Toxicity8 to 10 mEq/L -- loss of DTR
10-15 mEq/L -- respiratory paralysis
20-25 mEq/L cardiac arrest
Calcium gluconate (1 g intravenously over 5 to 10 minutes) should be administered to counteract life threatening symptoms of magnesium toxicity
Seizure TreatmentMgSO4
4-6 g load then 2-3g/hr5 g IM q 4 hours
If on MgSO4 give an additional 2 gMay repeat x 1
Amobarbital 250mg IV
Lorazepam 0.02-0.03 mg/kg IV
Consider paralysis with intubation
