The pre-eclampsia is a potentially serious complication of pregnancy with increasing significance worldwide. Pre-eclampsia is the cause of 9–26% of global maternal mortality and a significant proportion of preterm delivery, and maternal and neonatal morbidity. Incidence is increasing in keeping with the increase in obesity, maternal age, and women with medical comorbidities entering pregnancy. Recent developments in the understanding of the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia have opened new avenues for prevention, screening, and management of this condition. In addition it is known that pre-eclampsia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in both the mother and the child and presents an opportunity for early preventative measures. New tools for early detection, prevention, and management of preeclampsia have the potential to revolutionize practice in the coming years.
The purpose of clinical implementation of the CALM DOWN action algorithm for medical personnel with severe pre-eclampsia will to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality as a result of complex teamwork.
Key words: severe pre-eclampsia, treatment, the algorithm of actions of medical personnel, CALM DOWN, magnesium sulfate, urapidil, labetalol, nifedipine, infusion therapy.
