Abstract
Objective: To observe the maternal and Perinatal outcome in eclampsia.
Material and Methods: Data was collected from eclamptic women admitted to the emergency ward of Obstetrics and gynecology of IMS and SUM hospital, Bhubaneswar, India during the period of Sept 2013 Aug 2015. Maternal and fetal complications were noted.
Results: The incidence of eclampsia was 1.58% during the study period. Majority of the patients were less than 30 years of age (80.7%). There were a significantly higher number of women (n=42) from poor socio-economic strata of the society. Majority of the patients (55.7%) had no antenatal checkups .Caesarean delivery rate in our institution was 57.69%. 38.4% patients needed admission to ICU. Perinatal death rate was 285/1000 live births. There were 4 maternal deaths (7.69%) during the study period.
Conclusion: Eclampsia is a major obstetric emergency that needs adequate management to avoid catastrophic events. Early diagnosis and referral of cases from primary health care unit along with institution therapy and timely intervention can improve the prognosis.
