Recent changes in nomenclature and diagnostic criteria have changed the designation
of “mild preeclampsia” to “preeclampsia without severe features.” e diagnosis of preeclampsia with severe features
is no longer dependent on the presence of proteinuria, and
intrauterine fetal growth restriction was eliminated as a
diagnostic criterion. ese changes are intended to emphasize the progressive nature of the disorder, the need for frequent reassessment, and to avoid delays in diagnosis and
treatment.

developed countries.3 ere has been a 30% increase in the
incidence of severe preeclampsia in the United States over
the past decade.4 e reason for this alarming increase is
likely multifactorial, with contributions from an elevation
in average maternal age, expanded use of assisted reproductive techniques, and increased prevalence of maternal
comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Risk factors for preeclampsia are numerous and can be
categorized as demographic, genetic conditions, medical
conditions, obstetrical conditions, behavioral, and partner
related (Table 49.3). Identifying and clarifying risk factors
is an area of active research, especially with regard to genetic
predisposition.
EPIDEMIOLOGY AND RISK FACTORS

center around the placenta as the root cause of the disorder, as evidenced by the fact that delivery of the placenta
leads to resolution and that the disorder can be present in
the absence of a fetus (as in molar pregnancy).3 In healthy
pregnancy, remodeling of placental vascular smooth muscle
facilitates formation of a low- resistance vascular bed that is

gestation, plus EITHER proteinuria OR any severe

• Proteinuria (≥ 300 mg/ 24h, protein- creatinine

Preeclampsia plus any one of the following features:
• BP ≥ 160/ 110 (measured on 2 occasions at
least 4 hours apart while on bedrest)
• Thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 100,000)
• Acute kidney injury (serum creatinine >1.1 mg/ dL
or >2 × baseline)
• Pulmonaryedema
• New- onset cerebral or visual disturbances
• Impaired liver function (liver enzymes > twice
normal, severe persistent RUQ or epigastric pain)
conditions. In preeclampsia, this process is disordered and
incomplete, leading to a placental vascular bed that is vasoconstricted at baseline and is hyperresponsive to vasoactive
stimuli. Failure of normal angiogenesis leads to supercial
placentation and placental hypoperfusion that worsens
throughout pregnancy. Eventually, the placenta will start to
release antiangiogenic factors, cytokines, and proinammatory factors into maternal circulation, which in turn cause
systemwide endothelial dysfunction and a sepsis- like reaction. As a result of chronic placental insuciency, intrauterine growth restriction and impaired fetal development may
be seen, especially in cases of preeclampsia that present early
in gestation.

Preeclampsia most commonly presents late in pregnancy, aer the 34th week of gestation, and progresses
slowly until delivery of the placenta. Early presentation,
before 34 weeks EGA, is associated with worse maternal
and fetal outcomes, and may actually represent a distinct
disease process.3 Rare cases can also present postpartum,
usually within 7days of delivery. Signs and symptoms of the
disease, by organ system, are detailed in Table49.4.

Obstetric management is focused on treatment of clinical symptoms and prevention of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Intravenous magnesium infusion is used
for both the prevention and treatment of seizures associated
with eclampsia. Dosing of magnesium involves an intravenous bolus of 4– 6 grams given over 15 to 20 minutes,
followed by 1– 2 g/ hr infusion.7 Magnesium infusion is
titrated to serum magnesium level between of 5– 9 mg/ dL.

as allowing for rapid anesthetic dosing for emergent cesarean delivery. Both the quality of epidural analgesia and the
patient’s airway should be reexamined at frequent intervals,
as the Mallampati score and the likelihood of a dicult airway can increase during the course of labor (Figure 49.1).
An interdisciplinary approach with constant communication between obstetricians, anesthesia providers, and
labor nurses is essential to safe care of patients with severe

A major concern when initiating epidural labor analgesia
is the risk of epidural or spinal hematoma in severely preeclamptic patients. e relative risk of complications in
this population has not yet been determined compared
with nonpreeclamptic parturients. While there is no
consensus on lower limit of platelets for safe use of neuraxial techniques, previous requirements for platelet count

Anesthesia providers should monitor patients for complications of preeclampsia and understand the implications
of the disease process on the anesthetic plan. Particularly
concerning can be thrombocytopenia (oen associated
with HELLP syndrome) and resistant hypertension requiring aggressive management. Early epidural placement
reduces pain and associated catecholamine release as well
requires careful consideration between 50,000 and 80,000.
Factors such as delivery plan, maternal airway examination,
maternal comorbidities, the rate of decline of platelets, and
the progression and severity of preeclampsia should all be
reviewed. Although coagulopathy is unlikely in preeclamp-
tic patients with normal platelet counts, coagulation stud-
ies should be obtained for patients with thrombocytopenia,

CESAREAN DELIVERY
Box 49.1 summarizes the key steps to consider in the event
of cesarean delivery. If a labor epidural is in place, it can be
dosed to obtain surgical anesthesia for urgent and nonurgent cesarean delivery. In the absence of an epidural in situ,
for nonemergent deliveries a spinal anesthetic is oen used,

despite unfounded historical concerns of maternal hypotension.
14,15
However, general anesthesia may be required
for cesarean delivery due to time constraints in a true emergency or due to contraindications to neuraxial techniques
such as coagulopathy, hemodynamic instability, or patient
refusal. If general anesthesia is required, major anesthetic
concerns in severely preeclamptic patients include airway
management, hypertensive response to direct laryngoscopy,
and postpartum hemorrhage. Higher incidence of dicult
airway in this population is related to airway edema and
friability.16 Oropharyngeal edema may worsen during long
labor and additionally complicate endotracheal intubation.

Changes during Labor and Delivery. Anesthesiology. 2008 Mar;108(3):357– 62.
Furthermore, a moderately dicult airway may become
impossible if repeated attempts to secure the airway result
in pharyngeal bleeding and impair use of advanced airway equipment such as videolaryngoscopy and beroptic
elevated liver enzymes, eclampsia, or evidence of clinical bleeding (venipuncture sites, vaginal bleeding).
romboelastography (TEG) or rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) may help provide a real- time image of
combined eect of thromobocytopenia and coagulopathy
on clot formation.
10,11
When neuraxial labor analgesia is
contraindicated or declined by the patient, parenteral opioid medications such as low- dose remifentanil via patientcontrolled analgesia (PCA) can be used for labor analgesia.
During initiation of neuraxial analgesia, providers
should recognize the patient’s hydration status and anticipate the possibility of volume depletion despite elevated
blood pressures. Given the potential benets of decreased
intravenous uid in this setting,
7,12
the practice of volume
coloading needs to be made on a case- by- case basis. Dosing
an epidural aer conrmation of negative test dose should
be judicious and slow, to avoid relative hypotension and
organ underperfusion.13 Epidural infusions should be programmed to avoid motor blockade not only to improve the
likelihood of successful vaginal delivery but also to allow
for continuous monitoring of lower- extremity reexes.
bronchoscope.
Hypertension during major surgical events, but particularly during direct laryngoscopy (DL) can increase
the risk of cerebral vascular injury under anesthesia.
Frequent blood pressure evaluation is warranted, and
in the case of uncontrolled hypertension, placement of
a preinduction arterial line may be of benefit if time and
maternal- fetal status permits. Multiple pharmacologic
combinations to prevent hypertension associated with
DL have been studied and can be used, including esmolol bolus of 1– 2 mg/ kg with or without lidocaine, nitroglycerin bolus, and remifentanil bolus.17 Other studies
have identified issues with some calcium channel blockers due to interaction with magnesium therapy and with
sufentanil and remifentanil use being associated with
the need for administration of naloxone to the neonate.
Many vasodilator infusions will not be readily available
on the labor and delivery unit if needed urgently, and
these should be planned for ahead oftime.
Cesarean delivery may place patients with severe preeclampsia at increased risk for postpartum hemorrhage

should be uterotonics available. If general anesthesia is used,
volatile anesthetic concentration should be decreased aer

needed. e patient should be monitored with pulse oximetry, blood pressure, and EKG (if available) as well, and
fetal heart rate should be continuously traced. Treatment of

be rapid. Abolus dose of 4– 6 grams of intravenous magnesium should be given, followed by continuous infusion of
1– 2 g/ hr if not already infusing.

Once the patient has been stabilized, the patient’s
neurological function should be carefully assessed, and
electrolytes, including magnesium, checked. Intravenous
fluids should be used sparingly to decrease the risk of
cerebral edema. While a seizure does not necessitate
immediate emergency delivery of the fetus, the obstetrician and anesthesiologist should discuss the planned
timing and mode of delivery as well as review the differential diagnosis for seizures in parturients to ensure an
alternate process is not missed.
what are risk factors? Are any behaviors protective?
Is there any way to prevent the development of
preeclampsia in parturients who are high- risk?
2. Given the patient’s gestational age and severity of
preeclampsia, the obstetric team begins an induction of
labor. Prior to planned articial rupture of membranes,
the patient requests a labor epidural. What are your
anesthetic concerns? How will you manage the patient’s
uids? What, if any, laboratory studies are needed?
Her platelets return at a level 75,000. Do you require
additional laboratory analysis at this time? Would you
place an epidural?
3. Aer epidural placement, you are called back to the
labor and delivery suite. e patient has suered an
observed tonic- clonic seizure. What is the dierential
diagnosis? How would you manage the patient?
4. Two hours aer the magnesium infusion is initiated,
the nurse notes that the patient has lost patellar deep
tendon reexes. What are common side eects of
magnesium infusion? What are the signs and symptoms
of magnesium toxicity, and at what serum blood levels
do they develop? What are the anesthetic implications
of taking a patient on a magnesium infusion to theOR?
FOLLOW- UP
5. e patient is taken to the operating room for a STAT
cesarean delivery for nonreassuring fetal heart rate.
Patients with severe preeclampsia should be observed closely
aer delivery. Magnesium is continued for at least 24 hours,
hypertension should be tracked and treated as needed, and
providers should monitor for complications such as cerebrovascular accident or pulmonary edema, which are more
likely to occur postpartum. Unlike the typical course of
gestational hypertension, preeclampsia may cause elevated
blood pressures for weeks aer delivery, though improvement to baseline is oen seen within 5days aer delivery.
e patient should be counseled on implications for future
deliveries and general preventative health, since preeclampsia has been linked to future higher risk of ischemic heart
disease, congestive heart failure, end- stage renal disease, and

stroke.
e epidural has been dosed for surgery, but patient
does not have adequate block when tested by the
surgeons. How would you manage? What are some
of the anesthetic concerns of general anesthesia for

patient? How will you manage blood pressure during
surgery?
6. Aer delivery of the baby, the obstetric team reports
poor uterine tone. What risk factors does the
patient have for uterine atony? How will you adjust
your anesthetic? What uterotonics will you use,
and which will you avoid in this patient? What are
their mechanism of action and side eects? Should
magnesium be continued?

Which mothers are most at risk of signicant hemorrhage? A review of 8.5 million deliveries in the National
Inpatient Sample from 1999 to 2008 found the incidence
of postpartum hemorrhage doubled over the time reviewed
to 4.2 per 1,000 deliveries.7 Signicant risk factors for
severe hemorrhage included placenta previa or abruption

found that hemorrhage accounted for 11.4% of maternal
deaths,1 and hemorrhage remains the most common cause
of maternal mortality worldwide.2 Additionally, a study

severe postpartum hemorrhage was responsible for approximately half of the cases.3 In their population, severe morbidity was 50 times more common than maternal mortality.
e American Society of Anesthesiologists’ (ASA)
Closed Claims Project reviewed closed anesthesia malpractice claims related to hemorrhage from all causes and
found that obstetric patients accounted for the largest
group of claims (30%).4 Common elements of these cases
were delayed diagnosis of severe hemorrhage, delayed transfusion, and poor team communication. Although postpartum hemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal morbidity
and mortality, care is oen suboptimal in terms of diagnosis
and management. Many series have found a high level of
preventability in maternal deaths due to hemorrhage.5 How

in practice guidelines from national bodies in the United
States and Great Britain. While cell salvage may be useful,
availability may limit its use in many acute or emergency
e American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
(ACOG) has a Patient Safety Checklist to guide management once estimated blood loss (EBL) following vaginal
delivery is greater than 500 mL.9 Unfortunately, caregivers
on L&D are not accurate when visually estimating blood
loss during delivery, and postpartum blood loss is signicantly underestimated. Use of a visual aid such as a pocket
card with examples of known blood volumes can improve
accuracy of EBL aer delivery.10 Weighing sponges and
other blood- containing materials will also improve accuracy while keeping an ongoing estimation of bloodloss.
Once the diagnosis of severe hemorrhage is made, management may include cell salvage, interventional radiology
techniques, transfusion protocols that follow a 1 PRBC:1
FFP: 1 platelet unit strategy, and medications to manage coagulopathy such as recombinant Factor VIIa and
tranexamic acid (Table 50.2). Peripartum resuscitation
should always follow traditional hemorrhage guidelines of
maintenance of normal acid- base status and avoidance of
hypothermia, but there are some unique considerations for
the peripartum patient.
Concern for amniotic uid embolism (AFE) syndrome
and for alloimmunization due to fetal red blood cell contamination has limited the use of red blood cell salvage during cesarean delivery. However, a comparison of maternal
central venous blood with cell salvage blood aer washing
and with use of a leukocyte depletion lter showed no difference in particulate contaminants,11 and over 400 case
reports of cell salvage in parturients have been reported
situations on the L&Dunit.
Consultation with interventional radiology provides

has not responded to other treatments.

e technique is
less eective in the presence of coagulopathy or during acute
massive hemorrhage, and should not replace ongoing resuscitation or delay proceeding with hysterectomy when necessary. However, serious complications can occur with this
technique, including leg ischemia, tissue necrosis, pseudoaneurysms, and even paraplegia,15 and the technique should
be used (if at all) as part of a multimodal management plan.

Despite the lack of randomized controlled trials in
obstetric patients, many obstetric units have adopted massive transfusion protocols similar to those used for military
trauma cases and other types of traumatic injury.17 ese
protocols focus on early administration of fresh frozen
plasma and platelets with red blood cells to achieve a set
ratio. ere is limited data in obstetric patients, but one
study of 142 women with PPH found a higher FFP:RBC
ratio was associated with a lower requirement for advanced
interventional procedures such as embolization, B- Lynch
suture, or hysterectomy.18 An obstetric massive transfusion protocol will expedite release of blood products and
facilitate an organized provider response with the goal of
improving patient safety.
