33 yo G1 P0 presented @ 25 4/7 weeks EGA after a witness seizure at work. Brought in by ambulance and seized again in ER. BP 220/160. No significant past medical history. Husband did say she had headaches for one week and swelling for two weeks. Also was hit by a dodge ball on her forehead three days before presentation. She was last seen by her ob two weeks ago when it was uneventful. She had a negative CT of the head prior to being released from the ER to L&D. Baby's heart beat now in normal range. Cervix closed, firm, uneffaced. Cephalic presentation by ultrasound. MgSO4 given in ER, BP gradually responding to Hydralazine and Labetolol. No coagulation abnormalities. I am wondering how many of you folks will deliver her right away, or how many will give her steroids and wait? Thanks in advance for you input.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
