With the main objective of promoting women’s health, especially aspects related to the hypertensive syndromes of pregnancy, and thus reducing the alarming rates of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality, the Brazilian Network of Studies on Hypertension in Pregnancy (RBEHG) has promoted scientific events to improve and discuss practices in this field since 2020.
Events:
- I Brazilian Congress on Hypertension in Pregnancy
- I Journey of the RBEHG: Preeclampsia Updates and Challenges
Protocol s :
- Pre-Eclampsia Protocol 2020
– Preeclampsia is a multifactorial and multisystemic disease, specific to pregnancy, classically diagnosed by the presence of arterial hypertension associated with proteinuria, which manifests itself in a previously normotensive pregnant woman, after the 20th week of gestation. Currently, preeclampsia is also considered when, in the absence of proteinuria, end-organ dysfunction occurs. The multisystem nature of preeclampsia implies the possibility of evolution to more serious situations such as eclampsia, hemorrhagic stroke, HELLP syndrome, renal failure, pulmonary edema and death. Eclampsia refers to the occurrence of generalized tonic-clonic seizures or coma (Eclampsia sine Eclampsia) in a pregnant woman with preeclampsia, being one of the most serious complications of the disease.
