SeveriTy of Pulmonary Edema and Timing of Resolution in Patients With Severe Pre-eclampsia and Eclampsia (TIPER): A Physiological and Sonographic Prospective Observational Study

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Patients with severe preeclampsia or eclampsia suffer from pulmonary complications. Accurate assessment of patients with pulmonary involvement using lung ultrasound (LUS) and echocardiography could lead to earlier detection of pre eclampsia and eclampsia associated pulmonary oedema, ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) and other pulmonary complications. here is currently limited evidence regarding the features, severity, aetiology and history of pulmonary oedema in this group of patients Data from this prospective observational study will facilitate the early recognition of pre-eclamptic and eclamptic patients with pulmonary involvement to implement optimal triage and early therapeutic choices in a limited resource setting (diuretics, escalation to non invasive or invasive ventilation, referral to HDU (High dependency unit) or ICU, dialysis) and potentially reduce unfavorable outcomes.
