This course is part of the RCOG Core Knowledge series.

Pre-eclampsia is a multisystem disorder with clinical features that include hypertension, oedema and proteinuria. This tutorial will help you to learn more about the way in which pre-eclampsia can complicate pregnancy and how to assess and manage pregnant women who develop the condition.

This course should be studied in conjunction with the Pre-eclampsia course in the Antenatal Care module.

When you have completed this course you will be able to:

  • describe the physiology of intrapartum complications in women with pre-eclampsia
  • assess when a woman with pre-eclampsia requires delivery
  • confidently devise a care plan for women with pre-eclampsia in labour and delivery in order to minimise risk
  • manage an eclamptic seizure
  • counsel a woman postnatally about the long-term effects of pre-eclampsia.
