Metas del tratamiento de pacientes con preeclampsia, previo al parto, en una unidad de cuidados intensivos

OBJECTIVE: To know the percentage of goals achieved from the prepartum treatment of preeclamptic pregnant patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study included 100 preeclamptic pregnant patients admitted to the ICU of a high-specialty hospital in Mexico City. Val-ues before and after intensive treatment (baseline and antepartum measurement) were compared considering nine goals: 1) mean arterial pressure ≤95 mmHg 2) central venous pressure 6 to 10 cm water, 3) diuresis 1.5 to 2 mL/K weight/hour, 4) blood glucose <160 mg / dL, 5) plasma colloid osmotic pressure 24 ± 2 mmHg, 6) pH arterial blood 7.37 to 7.44, 7) hemoglobin 10 to 14 g / dL, 8) platelet count ≥100,000 platelets / µL and 9) absent seizures. It was considered as a goal met when the antepartum measurement was in the desired range and goal not met when it was different. Statistical analysis : descriptive statistics and Student's t-test. pH arterial blood, central venous pressure and plasma colloid osmotic pressure. The evaluation by goals allows to identify the strengths and weak-nesses of the treatment of preeclampsia in the ICU.
